Journal Eternauta3k's Journal: Pinhole camera

I recently started building a pinhole camera. It's a black box with a pinhole on one side and photographic film on the other. When the pinhole is uncovered, the film is exposed and can be turned into a photo. However, you've got to do it yourself, so you need to set up a darkroom.
Mine is made out of cardboard from a lego box. I initially used black paint of one type but then I bought the one I was supposed to use. It looks better and smells like real paint (yuck). Also takes a long time to dry.
Now, I just need to make a proper, lightproof camera door (for loading/unloading it) and set up the darkroom. My dad offered a room on his company to do it. Curiously, that room was initially meant for that, by the previous owner.
If anyone knows any slashdotters into photography, please tell.
