RE: 20x24 pinhole camera

I had a 20x24 view camera for a while...mobility was impossible. I kept
looking for an old ambulance gurney.
I did just have a weird thought...If you could find lightweight, flexible
opaque plastic perhaps you could make a blowup camera...a front, a back, a
bag in the middle w/ a valve. You might need some sort of removable base to
support the front/rear with.

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] 20x24 pinhole camera

Hello all. I'm interested in building a 20x24" pinhole camera,
preferably a take-down model. Has anyone out there tried to attempt
this? I currently do all my pinhole work in 8x10" so I am well aware of
the long exposures this may entail...which also makes it all the more
enticing. My biggest concern I'm trying to resolve is how I would mount
such a large camera on a tripod and keeping it stable. Though I'm sure
it's possible to do, it may not be the best way to go. Maybe set it on
a couple of saw horses?? Anyway, just wondering if anyone out there
attempted such a feat and what were the obstacles that occurred. I do
remember reading in Pinhole Journal about a photo artist who used a
20x24" pinhole camera a few years ago. I can not remember his name,
however.
Thanks in advance.

Bill-
