Turn Your Camera into a Scanner or Copier

[kullatiro]

Over the years I've been consolidating my stuff.  As appliances and computer peripherals have died I haven't replaced them unless they were an absolute necessity. My mircrowave died and now I just cook things that don't require a microwave (which is healthier anyway).  Another piece of machineryI haven't had for years is a scanner/fax.  With digital photography, email and email to fax services I really don't need that bulky piece of equipment anymore.  Every once and a while my email to fax isn't working or I need to scan something.  I usually just do it at work but sometimes that's not an option.  Buying a scanner/copier/fax to be used once a year is just wasteful consumption.  Running out of the house to the copy center is a possibility but it isn't the most efficient solution so I started thinking about making do with what I have.

I, like most people, have a digital camera and a camera phone.  It seemed to me that this would be completely suffiicient to take the place of a scanner.  The problem I have with taking pictures of documents is that it's hard to line it up and hold the camera still.  This is when I came up with the camera scanner stand.  I love cardboard so I started with an old box for material.
