The complexity behind digital capture (also quite miraculous) looses the simple beauty of the pin hole exposing a light sensitive material. I look forward to my opportunity to share a similar experience with granddaughter and step-granddaughters. I've shared photographic film and darkroom experiences with daughter and step-children. I even did the pin hole thing once. However, we used polaroid print material; which took a bit away from the purely simple; and handed a big piece of the miracle to polaroid.
