Camera Obscura

Okay, this isn't the best one I've seen of these but it was fun. Here is what you do:

1) Find a room with a window opposite a wall. Preferably there is something interesting outside the window.
2) Cover up the window with some light blocking material. We used alluminium foil, use whatever. Just block the light except for where you want the "lens" to be.
3) Cut a round hole in some foam core.
4) Place hole over the open spot on the window, so that the hole is the only source of light coming in to the room.
5) Gather up all the people you love and teach them a bit about physics, light, how the eye works, and how cameras work. This is the most important part. Share it. You know you have a hit when the kids say "whoa" and "amazing". Point out how the picture is moving. Demonstrate what a shutter does.
6) Take a picture, share.

Please feel free to post any reworks you do of my images. Crop, skew, munge, edit, share.
