A pinhole camera created from an egg. Pinhole cameras are often used in introductory physics courses to illustrate the principles of optics. The following was taken from a lab exercise at Rice Univerity:
A pinhole camera consists of a darkened box or room with a small hole at one end. Because light travels in straight lines, the hole permits rays from each point of an object to fall only within a small circle on the opposite wall, effectively forming an image. As the pinhole is made smaller the image will become more distinct until the hole is so small that diffraction becomes important.
Although pinhole cameras were probably known to the ancient Greeks, they are still used in preference to lens systems in some situations. Pinholes are obviously useful for imaging x- rays or particle streams, where no lens materials are available, but even for light they offer complete freedom from linear distortion, virtually infinite depth of focus and a very wide angular field. Modest resolution and a very dim image are the disadvantages. Overall, pinhole cameras are worth study because they are useful and also because they illustrate some interesting physics.
The garbage men of Hamburg started Trashcam Project, in which they turned giant garbage bins into pinhole cameras!
The photos? Not too shabby.

Tiffany made this neato stop-motion of her building the camera.
ignore the crappy and inconsistent lighting - I started making it at like 4:50ish and finished like 3 hours later :P and I was too impatient to wait until the lighting could be similar again…but this is my first ever stop motion okay? i figured out how to make them in iMovie without the weird zooming in and out thing!
so yeah. I’d redo it but as you can see, I already made the camera (minus one of the lenses actually lol, can someone help me with that?) :P

Walker Evans, Untitled (Architectural Study, New York), c. 1929
From the Metropolitan Museum:
In his first years as a photographer, when Evans tried out many techniques characteristic of the new vision, he hung an enlargement of this stark image on the wall of his spare New York apartment. Perhaps the photograph was a personal benchmark: it proved that the photographer had learned how to put together a picture, and how to do so with the most common, least picturesque aspects of the contemporary world.
