Pinhole Pictures we took with OUR OWN CAMERAS!
Leo's Pictures. Do you see our SV Tiger?
Cesar's Pictures Do you see the face?
All other pictures show by Kelsey, Jackie, Destiny and Desiree 4th period digital Photo. Can you figure out what they took a picture of?
So we made cameras, pinhole cameras. It was a lot of fun. We used 110 film, that Mrs. Woodward bought on ebay. Once we made them, we walked around campus and took various pictures. Some came out, some didn't but all of them were super cool and abstract. See if you can tell what these are. We actually MADE THE CAMERAS we took these with- the body, the aperature, and the shutter, all hand made. Pretty cool huh?
