Print your Camera

What a cool idea - the people over at Linatree have created a downloadable paper camera. It's a pinhole camera. Download a PDF, print it, build it, and pop in a roll of 35mm (you remember what that is, don't you digital kids?). Talk about cool.

As part of my final photo project in college I attempted to create a fisheye lens. I wasn't successful in making a fish, but I did make a workable lens out of warped plastic to mount onto my Canon EOS Elan. Images had a, well, plastic optics feel to them - kind of like a Holga.
