Lili: Elaine, thanks. check this link: http://users.rcn.com/stewoody/quote.htm When I was a "munchkin" Dad showed me how to build the pinhole cam. I'd love to know the name of the artist, if and when you recall. I often wonder about discoveries made in 'pre-history times' re tech that we see as recent. Example; was photosensitivity of materials...

elaine: you can make a pinhole camera with any room - camera means room, as it happens. What you need, though, is there to be only one source of light. if you want to try it i would start small, with boxes and cans, then straight to the darkroom. you could...

Lili: In a certain way the photos, the description and the comments make me think of how the values of those who control large material interests, such as money or realestate, are often, it appears, not balanced; makes me think of one of John Carpenter's (sp?) early flicks called "Dark Star". In...
