Camera Made From Camry Side Mirror Gets Upgrades, Shoots 1953 Ford

This truck hasn't moved for about five years, so its tires serve as a dam to block debris trying to flow down the gutter to the South Platte River.

There's no film-counter window in a camera like this, so I had to write down the number of turns to wind the film between shots.

Being able to mount the CamryMirrorCam™ on a tripod makes these sorts of shots easier on a cold winter day.

After making the "lens" longer (by using a larger beer-can segment as a barrel) the zoom effect was stronger.

Still, the pinhole was still a bit too big for optimum sharpness.

There's nothing like a pinhole camera for shooting objects 1/2" from the camera.

A pinhole camera also works well when photographing a Tonka truck.

Here's another garden-art toy truck.

The metric wrenches in my toolbox make for a good photographic subject for a pinhole camera.

Background glare can cause some interesting effects with a 30-second pinhole-camera exposure.

I'm not quite sure what happened with this shot. Why even bother with those newfangled digital cameras, I say.
