This is a pinhole camera, named after Yama, the Tibetan God of Death. The skull that encases the cameras was blessed by a Tibetan Lama, and will be used by designer Wayne Martin Belger for a photo series on the modern incarnation of Southeast Asians deities.
Yama’s eyes are cast from bronze and silver, with a brass pinhole in each eye. Yama is made from aluminum, titanium, copper, brass, bronze steel, silver, gold and mercury and is studded with Asian and American turquoise, 4 sapphires, 9 opals and 3 rubies (the biggest one costs $5,000). The switch to open and close the film chamber is located under the jaw.With all the digital cameras on the market today, Yama can’t target the title of best photo camera, but it stands a shot as the world’s scariest camera.
