A green idea for the environmentally conscious shutterbug

I'm really glad that all the cameras I have are still functional, but I'm sure there will come the day when one of them refuse to fire the shutter, or worst, have a damaged circuit. When that day comes, I'll refer back to this article.

Photoblog Photojojo has a nice writeup on what you can do with your spoilt cameras, though most of it applies only to film-based shooters. The Web site suggests that you turn these defunct gizmos into a flowerpot and grow plants in them. From lenses to camera bodies, it seems that almost anything can be converted into a unique piece of green art.

In my cupboard I have an old Canon EF 50mm F1.8 lens which has been severely infected by fungus. So perhaps I'll remove the lens and turn it into a flowerpot. Anyone wants to see me grow flowers out of my lens? Put your request below.
