The Dirkon from hell
What you see above is my attempt at making a Dirkon, a paper pinhole camera. Let’s see if it all pans out, since obviously its still a work in progress.
UPDATE: The only thing I haven’t done yet is make the actual pinhole.
Even if it looks like it was done in 15 minutes, it wasn’t.
Yes, the turn-lever does work.
Czech kitsch!

do you have pictures na?
i’m caving in on this one.
there’s a photo contest coming up in our society. pretty sure that 99% of submissions will be digital.

If you plan to use this for a photo contest, meh, I don’t think most local photo contests is up for the pinhole aesthetic.
No pictures :) Tamad pa e ;p Gawin na lang kasi :)
