I found a technique on how to make a pinhole camera out of a matchbox; I'm going to try and create one over the weekend. Does anyone have any tips, from past experiences or elsewhere?

how about don't be afraid to waste film? otherwise, i'm not sure. sounds like it will be fun and a learning experience. good luck.

Oh yes, wasting film is a little fear of mine. I guess I have to sacrifice something for the sake of experimental art...

You can use photo paper. Takes a little longer to expose than film, but it's generally more forgiving.
