matchbox pinhole camera

Courtesy of ReadyMade's new blog (full of great stuff already, no surprise there), instructions on how to make a pinhole camera from a matchbox! Skimming the instructions, the only part I'm confused about is how the film is successfully advanced. If you can get that, then all you need is a matchbox, film, a black Sharpie and some electrical tape, it seems. Amazing!


There's a tag set up by the same person over at Flickr for matchbox pinhole camera shots, and the images are lovely. I always do like pinhole camera images - something about the roughness of them, the peeking-through-a-keyhole secretiveness that the blurriness suggests is beautiful.
