Distance to subject in focus --> 1 full breath --> 5 steps (approx) --> 2 meters (approx)

shutter

• activated when contraption decreases... under a certain threshold?

• Potential digital solutions: [1] and [2]

aperture

held with two hands

lena

• big so that aperture control has a more tangible effect
