Ever want to take a picture...

...and all you have is a piece of paper and a roll of film?

No, me neither...

But, it can be done.

It's called a pinhole camera. If you trace the rays coming from a distant object through a tiny hole into a box, you see that the object is focused. If you put a piece of film inside the box, it will be exposed.

So, try it. You can make a mock 35mm camera with the instructions here. And check out the rest of the page, too.
