Anyone in this picture look familiar? It is me, and the picture was made in the most amazing way. It was made by an oatmeal box used as a camera!
My Person has been experimenting. She does that a lot: with plants, with my dinner, with nicknames for those annoying cat brothers I am saddled with, and this time, with photography. She found out you can make a camera out of just about any kind of box and you don't need a lens or a roll of film or a computer chip. It isn't really magic - it is called pinhole photography. But it seems like magic to me.
It takes longer to expose an image when you are using a pinhole camera, so your subject, me for example, can't move for a long time. I couldn't pant, flop on my side, yawn, scratch, bark or even drool for ten whole seconds! It was terrible. But when the ordeal is over, you get a nifty print like this one that looks sort of like it was taken many years ago, before there were any little red dogs like me. Pinhole cameras take Mysterious pictures.
So if you feel like experimenting, get out your oatmeal box. But get someone else to pose for you, okay?

Pinhole Finn, I love it! Wish we had some oatmeal
boxes over here, then we could take pitchers, too.
WHAT do the comments mean after your earlier post, Finn, about monarch butterflies?? I don't see any inaccuracies, you know your 'flies. Humph.
