Dirkon camera

I downloaded a Dirkon from David Balihar's site in March. I printed out
the PDF file and then glued the printer paper to some heavier black
cover stock. The camera is beautiful, and very cleverly designed. I
devised a different winding mechanism for the film and created a tripod
mount. My only complaint is that the shutter mechanism is difficult to
operate without shaking the very light camera.

By the way, I made my pinhole out of aluminum, which might violate the
true spirit of a paper camera in some eyes, but it makes for better
pictures.
