There are lots of ways to teach a subject like photography, but how do you really make a memorable lesson that sticks in people’s brains? UK photographers Jonathan Blyth and Matthew Pontin have taken their lesson to the streets—literally—by converting a VW camper van into an enormous camera on wheels that they call Camper Obscura.
Sponsored by the non-profit group FOTONOW, the van has been touring around the UK since the summer of 2010 visting schools, community groups, parks, and events offering free photography workshops and an unforgettable lesson in how a camera works.
