Pinhole Day!


   Tomorrow, Sunday April 25th is Worldwide Pinhole day! I have a few more shots on this 36 roll to take and should be developed by the end of the week. A few posts ago I showed some mediocre shots from my P-Sharan. I take this camera everywhere now; it has replaced my digital camera living in my bag. So hopefully I have some good shots. 
   Pinholes are the ultimate toy camera. You can make them out of oatmeal or coffee cans very easily and develop the paper if you have a dark room handy. Because I do not have the chemicals on hand to develop photo paper, my P-Sharan is useful because I can shoot right onto 35mm film, though I want to make one to shoot on 120 or 220 film. 


Here are some crazy pinhole ideas and useful websites to get you started to make your own:
