I've happened upon an old 35mm camera body originally designed for use with a microscope. The fp shutter includes a 'T' function. Over the next few days I'll fit the connecting tube [intended for body to eyepiece] with a pinhole and run some film through the rig.
The small film area will force me to select subjects with a strong sense of form in the composition, I should think. Taking the inevitable blur of an enlargement to 5"x7" into account the images will be, er, different -- if nothing else.
I'm smiling as I think of this as a counter-culture response to the drive for ever-sharper images now in vogue in the world of modern digital camera development.
