7 Failed Pin-hole Camera

I wanted to try making a pin-hole camera that uses cyanotypes as a recording medium. It was a failure. I made the camera, and cut the cyanotypes to fit my tiny box, and voila! Nothing. The reason why I think this project failed is because I never had enough patience to expose the paper long …
