    @35mm_marlena Thank you! The day I took this one down I put up another one. This one moved somehow during the year so fingers crossed the next one stays in place. 😂

    @manu2021 Thank you! I love making pinholes and placing them around my yard.

    @paper_negs It was hard to believe the system of the solarygraphies. So, I tried to make one for only one week: www.lomography.com/photos/25720435 When I saw the result, I placed several of them in my town and in other towns around that I'll check by Christmas this year. I'm looking forward to seeing them!

    @manu2021 That is a great image! I love the entire process, the long exposures, building the camera all of it is so exciting. I just bought my first camera to make solargraphs, the Puck which was funded via Kickstarter by Solarcan I plan in using it in my window at work. Someday I hope to do something similar to this: www.chrismccaw.com/sunburn Do people leave your cameras alone? I hid some about 10 years ago along a trail, I think I left them for about 3 months, when I returned I found one intact.

    @paper_negs Thanks a lot for your feedback. What I did is putting the cans at people's homes, asking them permission and explaining them what it was for. Thank you, too, for the link to chismccaw. I didn't know that project. I'll check it further.
