RE: Making pinholes without a darkroom?

Hi All!
Thanks for all your excellent suggestions... all of them very useful.
The pinhole I had in mind is more a shoebox pinhole than an advanced
one with film loading capabilities.
The polaroid suggestions may be a good alternative... I guess I
somehow would have to fit a polaroid backing to the camera? Does
anyone have any practical suggestions on how to do this? Where to get
the polaroid backing, which one to get? But then I end up with the
polaroid snapshot look on the photographs, right?
The answer I was hoping to get was some handmade way of making the
image, which is why I was onto the Cyanotype idea, but you're right,
the exposure time would probably be around a month (Imagine the look
of that image!!!). :-)
I guess making an instant negative in the pinhole camera would work
and then I could go on to making a cyanotype afterwards. Ric, you
mentioned a polaroid negative film that doesn't need developing. Any
more details? The Ortho 8x10 film also sounds like a good
alternative... not too much of a darkroom mess going on there...
Kate... could you expand on the P.O.P. in the camera? How would this
work?
All your sharing of experiences are appreciated, I haven't
experiemented that much with pinholes, (I guess I'm about to start!).
All the best!
Malin
