A camera everyone can make

Whenever I’ve given a pinhole photography workshop, at the end I
always get asked where the materials can be acquired and how the
participants can continue. Because of the difficulty and expense of
acquiring photographic paper and chemicals and the necessity for a
safe-lit darkroom, very few actually follow through.

So I designed a camera that everyone can make from readily available
materials that uses normal 35mm film and processing. I set out to
make it as easy as possible, yet reliable to load and use.

The illustrated step-by-step directions are available at http://
idea.uwosh.edu/nick/pinholephoto.htm

For you sophisticates on this mailing list, the basic idea can be
easily modified to alter the focal length, film format, and even film
size. (Now that I've got these directions done. my next project is to
do one in 120)

I hope someone can make use of it. I'd be happy to respond to
questions or comments.
