We learned a few things in Photo 101. First of which, was that photography is just a bunch of different ways to capture light. Second was that your black and whites of feet, daisies, and the ocean do not make you the world's greatest artist. But never mind that last one.

Here are two do it yourself photo fun kits that bring back the aura of the darkroom, the feeling of your first shutter click, and that new book smell from your Photography for Beginners Guide.

The Sunprint Kit uses solar power to expose shadows made by objects placed on special light sensitive paper. It's one of the oldest methods of photography, where the basics of making an image started. Plants, negatives, your Cousin Joe's freaky webbed finger ... with Sunprints you can make a photo out of anything that casts a shadow. And that's pretty dern cool.

The Pinhole Camera Kit provides all the materials to make a fully functional camera, straight down to the film barrel. Pinhole cameras have no lens and use only a tiny hole large enough to let light expose the film behind it. Ah yes, an old timey experiment in aperture.

No bits, bytes, or fancy equipment around here, just good old fashioned photo making. And just enough cunning craft power to make Martha swoon and your old photo teacher cry tears of joy.
