I’ve been playing with my Lensbaby again, and recently ordered my first “toy” film camera, a Blackbird, Fly TLR. On the same kick, I decided to see what a pinhole digital camera would look like and built a first try out of an old Nikon body cap, a Blue Moon bottle cap and a dab of glue.

Then I shot this 30 second exposure of my desk. I can’t wait to give it a try in strong daylight.
