I’ve been enthusiastically recommending the documentary More Than Honey whenever the subject of what to watch comes up, and I’ve been getting a lot of “Oh, I noticed that in the queue” as the limp but polite response (streams on Netflix).
My youngest son, who’s made a career out of deflecting my advice and interests, recommended it to me, knowing nothing about colony collapse disorder. I was certain the documentary would get to the bottom of the neonicotinoid debate, the pesticide thought to be primarily responsible for the scary decline in bee numbers, which has been banned in Europe but not yet in the U.S. The documentary never even mentions the word. Instead, it suggests that what’s taking out the bees is a complex system failure that’s grounded in the nature of our relationship with bees, our breeding them for docility, our industrialization of bees to keep up with our industrialization of agriculture. Creative inspiration, thoughts and ideas. Fine Art by Don Whittemore. I’ve admired Johannes Vermieer’s (1632-75) paintings for some time.
While I was searching the web for more information, I came across a book titled Vermieer’s Camera, Uncovering the Truth Behind the Masterpieces, by Philip Steadman, Oxford University Press, 2001. This book contains a comprehensive, detailed and well-illustrated source of information on how Vermieer may have used the camera obscura to produce the many of his approximately thirty-six known works.
I had to build one! This excellent resource was the catalyst for building two functional camera obscura. Mixing old ideas with modern, inexpensive materials, and adding a digital camera and computer to document the process was a very satisfying project. Photo 1.

I painted the inside of the two boxes black, then covered all outside edges with black construction paper.

Rather than just messaging someone a picture you just snapped, why not send them a physical picture inside an actual camera? The Pinpal is a mailable, foldable, pinhole instant camera — a concept designed to fold completely flat, then easily pop back up to take photos when needed. So you could just put the entire camera in a mailbox and send it to someone you care about (or just sent them the photos). As Cheng puts it: Pinpal is a pinhole polaroid mailer, that allows you to snail mail your friends and family a camera or a polaroid to create a different kind of bond/friendship that we no longer find through social media.
While it's a very fun and interesting design, unfortunately it's likely impossible. Which isn't to say that cardboard cameras can't work!

Pinhole camera Source Wikipedia A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box. The human eye in bright light acts similarly, as do cameras using small apertures. Up to a certain point, the smaller the hole, the sharper the image, but the dimmer the projected image. Potholder makes good as pinhole camera.
