For Halloween 2011, I made a fully-fuctional camera costume. It comes complete with LCD display, built-in flash, and shutter-release button. It is also capable of wirelessly triggering my Alienbees strobes, and winning any costume contest with the click of a button.

Tyler even made some great videos documenting how he constructed the costume:
