Thanks again, JL Jose Decades ago my grandmother got me to make a photo using a a piece of photographic paper in a shoe-box (literally) - as a pin hole camera. Chemicals? Well, it was like cookery and done after dark (she did not have a dark room) in the days before light pollution. It worked. Sadly I don't have it now. It was not important at the time just part of a sequence of experimentation of being a child. The concept though holds far more simplicity and reality that any amount of "digital crap". Watching the picture appear in a dish so much more satisfying than having to switch on yet another piece of electronic "stufff". Bob PS ... her old photos were only ever brown and white. Not sure why that was.
