Thanks to both of you (Chris & Ray) who pointed me to this very useful site!  

I tried playing with my pinhole again this weekend.  I set up a mini-darkroom 
in my bathroom, went outside with the cameras, took my shot, and went back 
inside to see what I had.

Unfortunately, that was when it all went downhill.

I had the fan running in the bathroom, but apparently it doesn't actually pull 
out odor.  I walked in, and nearly fell over from the chemical smell.  I 
thought that as long as i had everything set up, I may as well just try to work 
quickly and make these two prints. 

At about 1 1/2 minutes into development, black spots were dancing in front of 
my eyes.  Without thinking, I reeled back, opened the door, and then just stood 
there, taking in air.

Unfortunately, this let in a good amount of white light.  The prints went 
black.  :(

Back to square one.  I need to figure out this ventilation thing.  I can 
honestly say at this point that pinhole looks like too much fun not to tinker 
with on a regular basis.
