[largeformat] pinhole photography

[Les Newcomer]

about the only thing new to LF in this house is last month for the 
school science fair, did pin hole photography.  While I found a great 
sight that showed how to use the proverbial Quaker Oats box, with a 
little suggestion, we upgraded to a Postal Service Priority box and a 
spare Graflok back. This way we I mean she could take more than one 
shot without heading to the darkroom.

this was also a great excuse to clean out the darkroom and get the 
cobwebs off the  8x10 Arkay processing sink that's been neglected for 
far too long.  I was concerned that the sink would be too complicated 
for her to handle (loading 4 up 4x5 hangers takes some getting used to) 
  but she opted for the sink over trays, and once she realized the 
machine farts, she's been asking to process my film!


The school, more specifically her 4th grade teacher, conspired, 
cajoled, and begged to get a garden in the center of the U shaped 
school.  Since I didn't participate in the digging and planting I came 
out with my 8x10 for the official ribbon cutting ceremony.   I'll try 
to scan the neg in a couple days.
