unexpected camera source

For those of you who like to make your pinhole cameras from metal tins.
I just discovered a place rich with them, and no it's not your local
salvation army store. If you are lucky enough to live in a community
with a large Asian population, the larger Asian grocery stores have a
wide variety of cookie, candy, tea and cake tins for a very reasonable
sum. One chain is called 99 Market, but really any place with a China
town, Korea town, Little Vietnam, etc. should have a larger ethnic
grocery. Just roam the aisles until you find the section with the tins.
As the Chinese new year approaches in a few months there will be lots of
gift tins to choose from. The contents are usually tasty and for as
little as $5 you can have a metal tin perfect for a standard 8x10
negative, or larger or smaller depending on your needs. Happy pinholin'.
