HI! I made a pinhole camera out of a cardboard box* and then put my digital camera in it to take these photos. I lightened and increased the saturation on a few of them to make them more like my memory of that lovely, ghoslty image I saw when I put that box over my head.
* How I did it:
- punch a hole in the center of one end of the box;
- hang a sheet of tracing paper several inches away so that the image projects on it;
- cover all the light seeps in the edges and corners with black tape;
- drape a black cloth over the opening to either look or take a photo.
Note: I tried to shoot video but the image is too dark and needs a longer exposure, so the still setting is what finally worked best.

Cool, they look like old spy surveillance photos, low-rez and mysterious...
How's that for modern times: when the digital camera meets the card-board box... nice, lovely effect!
