He&#8217;s stuck a lens in one part of it, blocked any light leaks, and slapped a huge sheet of photographic paper on the wall opposite the lens.

If I hadn&#8217;t been able to sell it, I was planning on converting it into an art car.  I was going to put a planter in the trunk, maybe cut the roof so that I could fit turf into it.  But I would never have thought of turning the whole car into a camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There had been this shiny jewel-like bug on the bottom of this leaf.
