I only was able to shoot two pinhole photos before they put me under for
the surgery...
I knew you were going to do that. Did you have them mount a pinhole in your
skull to project an image on your brain?
So glad to see you are not only over that one, but still pinholin'.

Lee,
I had to call 3 or 4 stores in one city before I found one that had it. The
store that had it was in the same chain as those that didn't (NAPA) and he had
a huge roll, snipped it off and sold it by the inch. In another town, they
(again, same chain) didn't have brass, but had copper.
Hello All,
I'm out of the hospital and everything is looking good. I want to thank
all of you who said a prayer for me, I was pretty distraught and needed
a backup so to speak. The doctors removed the cancer from the back of
my skull, but couldn't find the mass that was supposed to be in my
So you are not using the sound hole and will be making a hole for the
pin hole where the neck attached. I would think that the resulting image
would look somewhat like what I get with my oatmeal box cameras. The
problem will be that on the curve of the lower half of the guitar body

I get it from Utrecht, my local art supply store. The package is made by
KS Engineering package number 258 and includes .001, .002, .003 and
.005 brass shims. Its in a section with model making parts, miniature
trees and grass colored moss. You also might try a craft or hobby store.

Hi Folks,
Great list.
I just started w/pinhole photography and I want to make a better
pinhole. For my first try I used aluminum from a pie plate. I'd
like to get brass shim stock, but all the auto supply places
around here have never heard of it. They look at me like I'm nuts
when I ask for it.

I seem to recall that there is another way to do get to know the exact

In addition to using the holders, you'll have to devise a method for
securing them to your camera in a light tight fashion. I build wooden boxes
and use a wood pressure plate sprung with the springy things you get in
metal frame hardware kits.

The file format shouldn't be a problem. Macs can

should be convertible. The

Howdy all. I'm wondering about the image that might
be produced by a camera made from a child's guitar.
First, let's assume that the paper-holding and light
securing problems are solved. The guitar is, well,
guitar-shaped; the aperture is at one lateral end with
a focal length of say 400mm, and
