Karl,

Good point ... I guess my friend may be an odd -ball but he uses a "commercially" made wooden pinhole camera that takes 4x5 film or paper. My own pinhole camera is a modified Polaroid Color-Pack camera that takes 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 film packs these days made by Fuji (although I heard they discontinued it). On reviewing the entries to the World Pinhole Photography Day project a significant number of people are still exposing paper or film ... then there is an ever larger contingent or DSLR based pinhole cameras. These of course can always be fitted with a remote release or use a self-timer. But for the others there is not much in the way of accessories. Even the company that sells a pinhole camera for like $500 does not delve into accessories. 

Anyway, I think the best thing I can do is to write up "how I made a flipping shutter for a pinhole camera" and bask in the glory of authorship!!

cheerio,
Andy from Rochester
