This reminds me, I've been intending to build a pinhead camera. The plan is to take a human skull, drill a pinhole through the forehead and place the negative against the back of the skull.

Anyone seen Yorick lately?

If you are able to visit the Royal Photographic Society HQ in Bath,
(England) you'll see the results of using a 'wheelie bin" as a pinhole
camera.  (A wheelie bin is a big domestic trash container - but probably
not big enough for Doris to dive in!)   They lined the inside with BIG
sheets of regular photographic paper and exposed through a hole in the
side.  Makes a great sort of panoramic / fisheye negative image.

(And there's a more famous photographer (forgot the name) who used a
caravan / winnibago completely darkened with a hole in the end to make a
GIANT pinhole camera.)
