Garage sales and 5$ bills

So, going home to new jersey was not as bad as I expected. I got a few great things out of it, including a new twin lens reflex. Mind you, this little guy was built in the 1940's in Chicago. It is a Spartus SPARTAFLEX. Sounds epic right?
I found this to be an awesome opportunity to not only shoot more with medium format films, but also I think it'd be fun to turn this baby into a pinhole camera! which is exactly what I did!
It didn't take much, really just some light tight tape. But it's a whole lot of fun.
This camera will produce 2.5x2.5 sized pinhole images. I know that they sound tiny, but the end product will be much bigger. I intend on making several of these small paper negatives, and then turning them into positives, and then posting them all together, so it's a huge mass of tiny little images that you won't know what they are until you get up close. :)

here are some images of the camera

paint cans popcorn cans, what's the difference?

So I am making a pinhole camera, and i've been trying to figure out what to use that wasn't a paint can because i want to make this project more difficult than need be, and also, i want bigger images than a small paint can, so i'm using a three different kind of popcorn christmas tin. i have to paint it black still, but i'll do them this week and have the images up by this weekend before spring break :)

here is my can

i just need to get the wooden part!
