Hi there,
I'm new here, so my question is quite basic, namely: how do you load (I mean
position) paper into a can camera? Do you use a tape that has both sides
adhesive, or a normal one-sided tape? How do you make the paper stick to the
camera's wall?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Łukasz

Try this: obtain some glass cut to size (this can be from your friendly
glass shop or from picture frames - I get mine at garage sales). Go to
your local auto parts emporium and get a tube of valve grinding compound.
Squirt some between two pieces of glass, and

Cris - while I do not disagree with your analysis, I think that photographic
editioning can be as straight forward as printmaking. I edition my photos
exactly like my prints. A bad photo goes into the garbage.
I have not decided if a separate edition in a different size is appropriate
yet.
My experience is also with printmaking and photography. The editioning process
in printmaking is generally perfectly sensible and straight forward. The darn
plate wears out, or something like that.
To me, one of the wonderful side effects of photography is that it is a
'democratic medium' and

I have an old DIY (Do It Yourself) Manual from the 1920's, I think, that
shows you how to make a quarter plate camera from scratch including bellows,
boards, dark slides, frame, brass fittings, etc, etc. It is quite a process
and you need to be quite skilled with woodworking tools. However, with

Hi Murray,
I've also got one of those 18x24 bellows which I picked up on ebay a couple of
years ago and which is still sitting in its box. I find that there are a
number or issues to need to be resolved but I haven'tresolved them yet. But
I have not put my imagination full time on it.

Using vinegar will simply give you a print, reminiscent of a salad
[dressing], but many of us simply wash with water instead of using any stop.
Ansel insisted stop bath solutions only lent the print to pinholes due to
the minute explosion effect of adding alkali to acid.
Use water.

Hello:
Excuse the partial diversion from pinhole - I am thinking about what to do

It may work for something cheap and easy.
