Pinhole Photography

Perhaps it's something like Zen for photography?

Through the vast help of my Kumpel, I was able to build the device in the course of an afternoon with great results. He picked up the habit last summer, and I couldn't resist any more. The amusement of the pinhole has lasted over millennia, from sightings back as far as 500 B.C. Another useful pinhole apparatus is a woven straw hat, which during a Solar Eclipse, will make hundreds of crescent Sols in its shadow.
