She shoots film, she plays around with manual cameras with great ease, she makes her own lenses, straps, lens babies, she shoots the stars, she scans film without a film scanner, she shoots pinhole, she makes freaky bicycle lights, she shatters huge wooden doors to pull out the keyhole lens to make her own fisheye lens! and yes, she makes her own cameras as well.

55. Pinhole cameras
film pinhole
digital pinhole

60. the calculations
f = focal length (distance from the film/sensor to the pinhole)
d = diameter of the pinhole
l = wavelength of light. (use 0.00055 mm for yellow/green light)
formula for focal length/diameter:
d = 1.9 f x l
formula for F number:
F number = f/d

63. my sweetshopbox pinhole camera specifications:
f = 45 mm
d = 0.3 mm
f number = 150

69. using 35 mm film in m. f. cameras
