Stephanie Wolf/CPR News Colorado Springs photo-based artist — and pinhole camera obsessive — Heather Oelklaus at her home, Sept. 16, 2018.

Heather Oelklaus keeps a yellow box truck parked outside her Colorado Springs home, a “big, yellow monstrosity” she calls “Little Miss Sunshine.” It also happens to be a pinhole camera.

She had been looking for a truck like this for a while. Just as Kodak stopped making one of her favorite kinds of film she was looking on “Craigslist and there ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ was — like a big box of film.” The photographic artist took the truck’s likeness to a box of Kodak film as an omen and she bought the 1977 Chevy and transformed it into a camera.

The truck is not alone. Not by a long shot.

The print workshop supervisor at Colorado College has turned a bellhop cart, a movie film reel canister, a teapot and a lunchbox among others into playful, simple, no lens cameras.
