You guys are a bunch of nuts. (Just kidding.) You know what's funny about
the hole comments? When I had the Barbie images on display this month - it
was a show about Barbie. The other works on display were mostly paintings,
sculptures, carvings... then, my Pintoids. I was so excited about the Altoid
containers and what the holes can be made from and the different sizes of
film and ... but nobody cared. It was a show about Barbie. It was okay
though, at least I got to eat free food.

George: It depends on the hole and the light available. Those acupuncture
holes take a bit more exposure than one made with a needle. If it's a needle
hole and it's sunny out, maybe four seconds? If it's an acupuncture needle
and it's sunny ... could take a couple of minutes. Indoors can take ten
minutes to a few hours. I usually guess and I'm usually close enough. This
is on HP-5. I came into some Tri-X sheets that are 2 1/4"x 3 1/4"and they
fit perfectly into the average size Altoids container without having to tape
them in. Those sheets of Tri-X are what I used for the Barbie multiples.
I'll post more Pintoid camera info to the today or tomorrow. Thanks for
checking it out! -MM
