Homemade Shoebox Pinhole Camera with Sliding Paper Shutter

Not the most glamorous looking pinhole camera but the box was free and it was relatively easy to make. I would go into shoe departments at the mall and ask the sales people if they had any shoe boxes they weren’t using. I was always surprised when they would come out with a handful of boxes for me to choose from. I like the color orange, so naturally I picked this one. I use 5×7 inch photographic grade two paper negatives. I adhere them to the bottom of the box with doubling over a piece of blue painters tape. Works like a charm.
