    I feel like Nicephore Niepce...with pin-hole paper neg

    Gents-
    I will grant you that this is not the greatest image of all time, and I had a few problems cutting the paper hence the plethora of finger prints, but I did succeed in recording an image, actually two, with a passport camera with a sliding back fitted by my friend Pete Christman with a pinhole. I used a piece of Ilford MG iv cut down to 4x5. The exposure on the right was 5 min. the exposure on the left was 10 min. developed in Dektol, Ilfostop and TF-4. Scanned and reversed in CS.
    She is not a beautiful baby, but she's my first baby.

    An interesting first step on a new adventure! (But now you have to figure out if you like the fingerprints or not...)

    Agreed! I may not put this shot on the cover of my next book (grins), but I do kind of like the fingerprints.
