"Prior to making the brass box it was necessary to verify that this size of Pinhole Camera would actually function. A proto type was built using cardboard from a Girl Scout cookie box with black tape to hold it together and make it light tight. Testing the cardboard version determined that a 15 second exposure produced a gelatin silver paper negative."
