Mike pointed to Thomas Hudson Reeve's site. Reeve makes origami pinhole cameras that produce magnificent images on the inner surfaces of the box with an ethereal quality. Really beautiful. I've been trying to do some origami lately since Renee got Lorenzo an origami book for Christmas. Making pinhole cameras looks like a fun craft project for Lorenzo and I to do when he gets older. A nice way to introduce Lorenzo to photography.

Michael - You won't believe this.
In 1988 I went to NYC to buy liquid emulsion for a Pinhole Camera project I was doing at the time. You couldn't get that in Denmark - still can't.
The project never really got airborne, but I did some research on applying the photographic emulsion to home/hand-crafted paper.
Very exciting.
I used graphical film for the negative. In the graphics world they used Repro-cameras, and real film for print production. So I - poor student at the time - got hold of some old stock, and shot a lot around Copenhagen with a home made pinhole camera.
Lots of fun!
Gunnar
