Homemade Cardboard Cameras and a Rare Disease Diagnosis

Cy Kuckenbaker built pinhole-style cameras from cardboard boxes and magnifying glasses bought at a drugstore, then used them to photograph West Coast landscapes while working through a diagnosis of a rare congenital condition affecting one eye. The resulting project, 'Everything Twice', is a short film pairing that slow analog process with the years-long experience of uncovering the illness.
