The Camera Obscura.
The header of this page is one of the images I made using a camera obscura ^
The camera obscura as an accent optical device. It is very similar to a dark room with a small hole in one of the walls. On the wall opposite the hole, an image is formed of whatever is outside. This Image is projected upside down(inverted) and back to front. The size of the whole has a great effect on the picture that is being projected. A small hole will produce a sharper image, which is dim, and a larger hole produced a brighter picture which is less focussed. This happens because light travels in straight lines, a property known as the rectilinear propagation of light.

Abelardo Morell.
Abelardo Morell is an American photographer who makes amazing camera obscures within rooms. Here is some of his work:
I think his work is really amazing, It almost doesn't look real, like it has been photoshopped.
Here are some videos showing Abelardo Morells work and how to make a whole room camera obscura:
