Believe it or not, I've held onto this lunch box since I was a child. It's held all sorts of things from 3 1/2" floppy discs to you name it. I was cleaning out a closet the other day and thought, "why not put this box back in use and modify it into a pinhole camera?" So that's what I did. I painted the interior of the box with flat black spray paint, drilled a .25" whole on the front with a power drill and then attached a 300 micron laser drilled pinhole to the interior of the box. It takes 5x7 photographic paper and the exposure time varies for the type of paper I'm using and the lighting situation. I thought I would be an interesting idea to create a number of these camera with different designs on the outside.
