Pictures disguising my camera as something else (7 pictures)

My costume is intended to invoke the image of a 1930's newsphotographer weilding a Speed Graphic and flash. My Olympus E-3 is inside the box. The stuffed squirrel on top is my mascot, Nutso.

My speil when I talk to people says that it a Cel system, because:

You can Chat with the telegraph;
You can Envison with the camera;
You can Locate yourself with the compass, watch, and sextent.

I then go on to say, that in the future, I believe they may become much smaller.
