I just dug up my second edition copy of Renner's "Pinhole Photography:
Rediscovering a Historic Technique".  It shows someone making a camera
obscura (no photo emultion on the walls).  I know I've seen articles
about actually painting a room with photo emultion, but most of my
photo books are still boxed up from a recent move.

"Adventures With Pinhole and Home-Made Cameras" shows a van converted
into a large pinhole camera.
