Made me a goddamn pinhole camera today! First, I attempted making one out of an ibuprofen bottle, but the opening would have been too small to fit film through. Next, I created one out of black foam-core. It was 5"x5" cube with four lenses and a door. The biggest paper negative is from that one. While the images would have been interesting, the camera was not user friendly, and keeping it light tight would have proven difficult. I found this water bottle, and it is pretty perfect. It's an odd design, with a weird ledge thing created by a cut-out. It's perfect for resting paper/film on. I'll be using 120 film cut into 4" strips. This pinhole camera has a really wide angle, which can be seen from the top right paper negative. I hope to create a series of landscapes, perhaps utilizing a human figure as well.
You should give your "water bottle" to a sweaty runner and when they see there is no water in it, you will take a picture of their "distressed" face.
