Bored to the point of seeing what was in a cabinet.
While searching I found a couple of negatives from a class assignment back in the 1980's .
Assignment make a Pinhole camera , and make images using printing paper for film.
The shutter was off an old Ansco folding camera, lens replaced by a .0135 pinhole in .002 brass shim stock focal distance 10" exposure time's 20 mins +/-
Contact printing time on the Train Depot building between 60 & 70mins most of which was getting detail in the foreground. The instructor accused me of using a film neg tp make the final print, she said there was no way to get the detail I had in the foreground, I open my folder a pulled out 8 test prints showing the "map"and progression to the final print then challenged her to come to the dark room for a demo. She had never heard of burning a contact print!
I got my grade but never got a date with her

Oh well

That's a nice pinhole camera. Mine was a cardboard box.

Thank you Alliebess
I just didn't want to be limited to one image per outing so I built the box on the order of the camera of Old.
And by adding the shutter I didn't have to mess with tape. I had two 8X10 cut film holders giving me 4 images per outing.
The whole camera was made from scrap.

Thank you Mike
At that time I had been into photography 25 yrs. Started with a Yashica "A" cost me a whopping $25 it took me four weeks to pay it off, then the federal condenser enlarger and lens another $25 or so, then developing trays and film tank, Dad let me use the toiled in the basement for a dark room.
