We don't get really big into gifts and usually just draw names, but one of the gifts I received this year was homemade and very special. My nine year-old nephew made this pinhole camera for me. Hopefully I can get some shots with it soon. Learn how to make your own right here. How was your Christmas?


















I just bought myself a pinhole camera kit! Since I can't afford a super nice camera, I'm going to take as many pictures with the little paper one as I can. I can't wait to see how yours turn out! I'm a little nervous about my own...

Love this! I've wanted to make one for a while. This is the perfect reminder. Can't wait to see what you shoot with yours!

And it's a Dirkon! What an amazing gift from a (obviously) very cool boy.

Wow. Your Nephew is amazing! What a thoughtful gift. Camera related gifts are the best. Aren't they?

What a great gift... I remember making pinhole cameras in high school and loving the result. I should try it again!
