Ceramic pinhole cameras look great, so do their pictures

You know, I’d heard of a Pottery Barn, but never before a pottery camera. But check out the line of ceramic ppinhole cameras crafted by Steve Irvine.

Because it’s so easy to make a pinhole camera, a lot of them look kind of slapped together. But Irvine’s are nice enough to put on a shelf.

And they take good pictures, too! When I heard of it, I wondered how he got the pinhole tiny enough for good shots, but it looks like he’s got a metal “lens” for his cameras. Good idea. Here’s an example shot from the above camera — it took 90 minutes to expose:
