a sucessful pin-hole photo!


for those who don't know what a pinhole camera is, its basically a very very simple camera that uses light sensitive photo paper or film negatives by using the most basic laws of optics. all you need is a light-tight box and one tiny pinhole on one side.
this is my first actual photo using a pinhole camera (i tried once in a high school photography class and i fudged 'em all up).
the image on the left is the original image the camera created, then i scanned it into the computer and flipped it. the picture is actually the entrance to my university's main building, Burrus Hall. :)

and here's the cardboard camera that did it! (don't judge the prototype's cruddy craftmanship...)
