Corbis (a source for images of all sorts) has a fun little site where you can download .pdfs of readymech pinhole cameras that you can make yourself. FOR FREE! Readymechs are *free* flatpack toys that you can download, print and build using a standard letter-sized page.
The downloads give you a full list of required materials (which includes an empty film canister and how to open one), and then you too can make your own pinhole camera.
Check out the site to see some of the images taken with a pinhole camera. I’ve always loved these simple cameras and how you can take an ordinary scene and produce these wonderfully surreal images with a box, a small hole and some film.
