Re: closeup pinhole camera

Gordon,

I put up a quickie page that shows an idea I had for
your close-up camera. Now I think I need to build one
& see if it works! Take a look at this page:
http://www.speakeasy.org/~jlmoore/pinhole.htm

No fair criticizing the layout, I didn't take time to
make it look nice (like any of the pages on that
site). I don't take the time to make most of my pages
look nice, I get enough of that when I'm supposed to
be working.
