I would like to announce to you all, that I have finalized the contract on my four wheel wagon, equipped with the latest accouterments and modern insulation. The factory that is procuring the materials and labor advised me it will be complete in 2 months. At which time, I will apply for a municipal business license and pay a surety to the county clerk. Now that I am retired from the Navy, I will live aboard this wagon and provide the finest tintypes this side of the Atlantic as I travel from town to town. I do not believe that camera technology has gotten any better since the turn of the century, which is why I have built my own camera with my bare hands and a stack of wooden planks and some leather. The lens salvaged from a discarded Newtonian telescope. The sort of satisfaction derived from the accomplishment of a finished camera assembled for a fraction of the market cost is difficult to express in words.

Thank you all for reading and good luck.
 
Of course, newtonian telescopes use mirrors not lenses as their main optical element. This could be interesting. It might also be novel for your target market to experience the image as a physical object. As for your carriage, I believe the modern parlance for these is "tiny homes".
 
Happy trails, sounds interesting. Share some samples of your creation and it's renderings.

Good one! Actually what came to my mind was a conversion van.
