Blinky Is One Cute DIY Pinhole Camera
If you have not noticed DIYP is big on semi-made/semi-DIY photography projects. And we are also big on pinhole. This is why we absolutely love this Pinhole/DIY/Camera project.

The Blinky is a self-assemble DIY Pinhole lens made from cardboard. Similarly to the Paper Fold Pinhole, the film chamber is kept shut with a rubber band. (Did I say this kit is genius yet?) and the film is wound with a wooden peg.
The Blinky site does not say how much each kit costs, but they provide a mail for contact.
Interestingly enough, the kit is a love child of two designers countries apart - UK and France. Here is how they introduce the project
"Hej/Hello/Bonjour! We are Liv and Léa.
We are from the UK and France. We met while both on exchange at HDK, Göteborg, studying Design.
We have put a lot of effort in creating Blinky, our first
collaborative project together. It’s been a lot of fun designing a ’
build it yourself ’ camera, and now we both know a little more about how
they work too.We have drunk a lot of tea in the process and a little wine at points.




Thanks for the shout, Itay.

blinky cost
yep, certainly is a nice looking kit, but at 37 dollars plus shipping it is a bit rich for something that might be little more than a curiosity. I have built pin holes for far less.
The kit is clever but worth over $40?
DIY means do it yourself
a book with lots of instructions on how to make your own. check it out from your public library:

Expensive and Potentially Tragic
I want one, but any time the French and British collaborate on something, it seems to go up in flames.
2€ in beer
I drank the beer and then used the cans to make a 35mm pinhole camera
