Ah, pinhole cameras.....  You may like to check out Justin Quinnell's 
web site. Another chap who lives in Bristol, England who has made 
some very strange and wonderful cameras. The largest that I have seen 
is made from a "wheelie bin" with a piece of black tape over the 
pinhole as a shutter.

The very large format images taken using the wheelie camera are in 
the Royal Photographic Society Galleries in Bath, along with the 
camera!

Some of the more esoteric photographs that Justin has taken were from 
the inside of his mouth, also using a pinhole camera!

Check out http://www.jquinnell.fsnet.co.uk full instructions there on 
how to make your own wheelie bin camera.  Justin gave me a set of the 
instructions at a party but luckily I drank too much and forgot about 
the project...... until now :-)

Carry on Guy - twist that film around ;-)
