And this is where we end up. A camera which makes 17 simultaneous exposures on a single sheet of paper. A four-week long exposure – two weeks in New Jersey and two weeks in Minsk. A camera made from a pistachio nut (yes, a pistachio nut). Photos made with homemade cameras with no lens, and – except in two cases – without conventional film. Hang on to your hats: things are about to get interesting.

Photography is the capturing of light, and it wasn’t until recently that we became convinced this meant each of us owning a hefty DSLR with a signature camera strap and too many lenses to fit in a duffel bag. Instead of dragging such a digital beast out and about with you, try harkening back to the origins of photography with a photo-paper-exposing, DIY pinhole camera.
