BEPRESENTCAM

We make small objects for being present.

Our first is a camera. Built to be carried, made to be forgotten.

THE MANIFESTO

Attention is the medium. We make objects to honor that.

A phone is the most useful object ever made. It is also the most distracting one. We do not think the answer is a digital detox, a grayscale screen, or another app that promises to fix the last app. The answer, for us, is small objects with single purposes. A camera that only takes pictures.

WHAT PEOPLE WROTE US

Three real letters.

I bought it on a whim. Two weeks in, my four-year-old asked where the camera went, not where my phone went. That has never happened.

Screen time was 6h 12m. I left the phone in a drawer one weekend and took the camera instead. My partner noticed by Sunday. Now there are two of us doing it.

I was worried the photo quality would be a downgrade. It is, slightly. I do not care. The photos I have of my kid this spring exist because I had this in my pocket and not a feed.
