Feel free to browse through the images from Children's Photo Day 2014.

The camera was a paint can with a tiny hole!

We were celebrating the Children's Photo Day the last Sunday in April; that is also the Worldwide Pinhole Day. People all over the world photograph with lensless cameras. The cameras are simply lightproof boxes with a tiny hole. The box is loaded with light sensitive paper pr film. We used Ilford monochrome paper and exposed 10-20 seconds. The exposed paper was developed and contact copied in the darkroom.

The children could also make sunprints, buttons and decorate a frame for their picture.
