How To Make A Pinhole Camera

New photos with old filters are all the rage these days (guilty as charged.. I AM on instagram… feel free to follow! @NoraMaha).

Cut out the middle man and get your vintage photography on without the expensive smart phone or software with a good ol’ fashioned Pinhole camera!

Apparently you can make one of these things with just some trash and photo paper, which is making me feel a little ripped off lookin’ at my fancy iPhone.

Check out the simple Instructable to learn How To Make A Pinhole Camera out of a box (A BOX!)

And then take a picture and tweet it, so you can be all extra snobby and pretentious when your friends ask which filter and application you used!

  1. This is a fun project to do with kids…..My grand kids are both wired with every technological gadget imaginable (my 13 yr old grand daughter just got an i phone
    for her birthday) but they love coming to our house and digging out my very old manual typewriter to type on & making photo synthesis prints with leaves and light sensitive paper and playing with our old film cameras and I am wishing we still had our old darkroom (because that truly is magic you know!)
