Now I get to sleep off a migraine.
A week or so ago I attempted to make this paper camera. I say attempted, because it was pretty much a failure. I did manage to salvage the innards, so with a lot of gaffer’s tape I still had a functional camera. I would take a photo and show you what it looks like, but I had to tear it apart to get the film out.
I used a partial roll of film left over that I didn’t shoot on World Toy Camera Day, so I only took six photos. Two of the photos turned out well enough to scan.
This makes me want to dig out my matchbox pinhole and go shooting. I love the results from that camera.
This past Saturday — October 18, 2008 — was World Toy Camera Day. This is the fifth year that I’ve participated in this “holiday.” Of course, being October and close to Halloween, most of my subject matter is Halloween related.
This year was no exception. We went to Six Flags briefly so I could take some photos. I got a couple of Holgaroid shots, and a roll from the Holga 135BC. I need to pick the best photo from the day to submit to the official group… can you let me know which you like best? I’ll post my favorites here, but all of them are viewable here.
And for the one non-creepy photo of the day…
