Photographer Justin Quinell has awed the world with his gorgeous pinhole photographs of passing planets, but one of his most curious series was a lot more personal — Mouthpiece was shot from a small camera inside his mouth, made from a 110 film cartridge. Framed by teeth, shiny gums and reverse cheek flesh, these playfully staged shots capture a piece of carrot on its way to be chomped, a dentist peering in for a look, the photographer’s feet poking out of a bubble bath, and a staring baby with a face that says, “Daddy’s funny.” He sure is. Peak into our gallery bellow and peer out at the world, mouth P.O.V. style.

Also I’m in agreement with Kara. This is just the wacky version of Hamilton’s beautiful poetic work.
