These instructions are also on my flickr page in the "Make a matchbox pinhole camera set." The photos are in color, and will enlarge a bit. http://www.flickr.com/photos/judithhoffman/sets/72157594316133954/

If you don't have a scanner, you can take photos of your pinhole camera exposed film with a digital camera. Read the Photographs of negatives group discussion for more ideas.

Most of my matchbox pinhole information is from a blog called Alspix Stuff. He also has instructions for a clicker to advance your film. I didn’t include it here because mine doesn’t always work.

Madmolecule has a nice magnetic attachment to a tripod for a camera made in an empty mini-DVD cassette.

There are pinhole photography links on my web site.
