[pure-silver] Re: Was emulsion-to-go... Now: You can find examples in some pinhole books....

It seems that the logical, ultimate conclusion of all this is to drive  
your van into a large garage, park it parallel to the doors, turn out  
the lights, spray the van with emulsion, drill a small hole in the  
door, then wait for a sunny day, station a blonde in a bikini (or one  
of the Chipendales, your choice) outside the garage, and uncover the  
hole. A little developer-water-fixer spraying and - voila! - an  
eyestopping van!
