Johan, I have seen reports of a pinhole camera constructed out of (or
better, "in") a wheeled household refuse/garbage container. It seems to me
that the larger the frame size, the bigger your problems with image fall-off
at the frame edges, and the longer your exposre times - but that could work
to your advantage (at least with the wheely-bin) since you will have a
built-in tripod-substitute.
Instructions here (mid way down the page):

Here is a reference to an exhibition of such prints:

Of course, womens' shoe boxes are to be preferred, since you then get to
make the pinhole with a stiletto, which is much more stylish :-)

If I want to build my own shoe-box camera does the shoesize matter...
Let say I cut a hole in one short side of the box, puts a laser-cut pinhole
over the hole and use some tape to mount a 9x12 cm or 4x5"
film on the opposite side. Do I then get a full frame exposure or does the
length of the shoe-box matter?
Stupid OT question, I know, but I guess this is probably the best place to
put it. And secondly, is men or women shoes to prefer?
