RE: Pinhole Digi-cam

I believe making digital pinhole cameras would make and take the creativity
out I've heard of guys/girls doing salt prints, bromoils etc within there
computers, which we all know are only look alike, DON'T GO THIS WAY SKILLS
WILL BE LOST.

No, I can't. Good point. I still use my round film plane pinhole camera, as
well as a few others. The boxes of dusty film cameras comment should have
had the word *lens* in front of it!

I can't wait until someone comes up with a flexible, thin digital camera
sensor, so I can make bent film(sensor) plane pinhole cameras. For that
matter, I can't wait until you can just buy a sensor, and out it in a
homemade camera.
