see that photo there? The one of the handsome chap?

I took that with a camera made out of a MATCHBOX.

I'm still absolutely giddy about this. A matchbox, some black tape, an acupuncture needle and some film.

Oh, and nalsa, who quite deservingly won a prize for best presentation for his 'how to make a pinhole camera out of a matchbox'.

You can see why. Just look at it! A matchbox!

I suspect I may not recover from this. :-)

Very very cool. I suspect the acupuncture needle is key, as a household pin makes a huuuuge hole. Having done the whole do not look at the eclispe, build a handy dandy pinhole camera I salute your mad skills!

PS, nice weirdo camera angle, looks like you studied from the same guide as most eBay sellers.

the camera was lying on its back on a table, with me looking down on it. :-)

That's amazing- and it's a pretty good picture too.
