il_fullxfull.155403823.jpg Check out this super cute pinhole camera made out of an iPhone box on Etsy. I love the simple slightly retro design:
This one of a kind handmade pinhole camera is crafted from a reclaimed, spray painted iPhone box. It is designed to take standard 35mm film just like a normal camera. It has a built-in advance reel as well as rewind reel. This enables you to shoot a picture, advance to the next frame, use the entire roll of film, rewind it back into the canister and take it to the drug store for processing!

    How about attaching the pinhole camera to the iphones camera? I built a pinhole camera that attaches to my digital snapshot camera (there is a velum screen in the middle that the camera takes the image from) and the results are great!

    Then attach a string to the back and tie it to another iphone box and you’ve turned it into a phone!

    Then on the side, add a wax cylinder with a sewing needle resting on it attached to a paper amplification cone and you’ve got an audio player!

    Now if we can just figure out how to connect it to the internet and load apps onto it…

      Easy. Attach that thing to a telegraphist.
