Wow, that's cool. Like emm said, it reminds me of the ring. I love the black around the edges. And could you explain to me exactly how to make a pinhole camera? And do you need actual film to use one? I've heard of making cameras without film, and I've always wanted to try it, but I've never been able to find out how.

a pinhole camera is essentially just cardboard (or paper called mayfair), one small square of copper and photo paper.
1) You make 1 full box (about 3in X 4.5in X 5in) with the top flap open so you can attatch photo paper to it. On the side opposite to the flap cut a small rectangle in the middle (2cm X 2.5cm).
2) you make 2 "lids", that are able to fit over the box (about 1.5in X 4.6in X 5.3in). In one of the lids cut the same small rectangle that you did on the box (same place, same size).
3) Place the a piece of copper, that is slightly bigger than the rectangle you cut, on the box and tape it down.
4)With the very TIP of a pin, puncture a hole in the middle of the copper (VERY very very small hole).
5)Place the lid with the rectangle in it over the side of the box with copper on it now. (you can tape it down if you want)
6)the other lid is the one you are going to be taking off and on when you are taking pictures so make sure that it can come off and on easily.
7) To take pictures: go in the dark room, tape a piece of photo paper on the inside of the flap of the box, close flap, put lid back on and put your finger over the pinhole you made (your finger is the shutter). When you want to take a picture you point the camera at the subject, remove your finger for anywhere from about 3 seconds to 20 seconds (depends on the light of the day and you have to judge it and fool around with the amount of time till you get it right). Put your finger back on, go to dark room, take photo paper off and develop!!!!

hope i answered your question well enough. Sorry about the length and detail..

this is massively tasty photography.

there's so much texture and delicious contrast to chew on.

the perspective of pihole photos is always a spacious treat too.

this is great.

a pinhole camera is basically a box made out of paper with a piece of copper with a pinhole in it...they're insanely easy to make..
