Yeah,

Well, let me say this about that. I got a nice little pinhole camera 
that takes 120 film, came in the mail Monday. Mahogany and 
brass. Little sliding wooden shutter. Sort of a circular brass slide 
rule on the back to estimate exposures. Got the first roll back this 
afternoon. Would have been delighted if only one frame turned out. 
But almost all were delightful -- especially the eight minute exposure 
of the fellow teaching a photography workshop last night. The guys 
at the camera shop that developed the film (Agfa 50 color) were 
giddy with excitement when they saw the prints.

Disparage all you want. I can't wait for my Leica pin-hole body cap 
to arrive, so that I can use a pin-hole rangefinder!!!!!

Cheers,

G.

(And, no, don't ask, I'm not set up yet to scan for display on the 
web.)
