D-I-Y: Paper Pinhole Camera

Posted today on Complex magazine's blog was a link to a D-I-Y (do it yourself) paper pinhole camera by Czech designer Jaroslav Jurica. The camera, called the Rubikon 2, is a modified take on an older paper model (above) that has apparently been makin' the rounds through photo mags, classrooms and shutterbug circles since 2005.



According to Jurica, his Rubikon 2 is even easier to build and use than its predecessor. Though I can't say that I actually plan on making one, in the back of my mind I keep tellin' myself that someday I'm gonna do some experiments with a cool paper pinhole camera like this.

Since 2006?

According to my profile, this lil' Blogger account was created back in the Spring of 2006. And yet, amazingly, despite a fairly established presence elsewhere on what George Bush often referred to as the "Internets" (Western twang required), I have virtually nothing to show for this now nearly 4-year-old account.

That, true-believer, is about to change.

Yes, coming soon to this not-so-new, but greatly improved blog is a...plethora of new postings, many of which will feature things that are currenty in development at the KFG Mountain Monastery. I have lots of new D-I-Y items on the horizon, including 1" button sets and a new zine or two.

In the immediate days to come, there's also gonna be a blurb about an article I wrote which will soon be featured in one of my favorite publications. (As soon as I have the details, true-believer, you too will have 'em.)

Yes siree, 2010 is the year of the blog! Well, this neglected blog anyway. So please keep an eye out for much more than what was posted in the past [cough] threeyearsandninemonths [cough].

And hey, considerin' my previous track record, with just one single post it already feels like I'm about...two-thousand and six steps ahead of the game.
