Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

You can build a camera out of just about anything. Take a small piece of tin foil and punch a litle hole in it, making sure the edges are clean. Then take something ike an oatmeal container, cut a hole in it slightly smaller than the piece of foil, and tape the foil to it. Seal the whole container up real good with electricians tape, so there's no light leaks. You should also make some sort of cover that will go over the pinhole and prevent any light from coming in till you are ready to use it.

You can put sheet film or just photo paper inside the camera. You'll get an inverted image with just paper. Just tape it to the back wall. Obviously you need to do all of this in complete darkness. smile

The exposures take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or so, depending on how brigh the scene is.

We did this at school years ago, I think I've still got the photo's somewhere, they weren't very good but it did work.
Some people are like Slinkies...

They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Are you talking about pin hole cameras?
I don't know how to do it, but google and I'm sure you can find out how...
