DEVANY DOUGHERTY: camera obscura project - part 1


THE CONSTRUCTION

 Here are my materials and my attempt at being artistic with taking the photo. the only thing that I had to buy was the tape.
 Basically what I did was use the natural folding of the cornflakes box to shape the camera and then added some new folds and taped them down. I shortened the tea box and taped a piece of the plastic bag to one of the ends. It was super easy, although cutting it all with my tiny bathroom scissors took forever.
This is the finished product. The little box does fit into the bigger box the way it is suppose to even though it looks like it wouldn't. I tested it and it was a success.
