The german art gallery Merid, settled in Stuttgart, is initiating a very nice worldwide project called "Camera Obscura 1-INF".

Camera Obscura 1-INF is a worldwide project in which two holes of a twin-holed pinhole camera are being auctioned simultaneously on Ebay every week. This project is dedicated to the polish artist Roman Opalka and his work 1965/1-∞. The highest bidders in each case receive one after the other a pinhole camera loaded with a piece of unexposed sheet of 5x7 Inch b/w film. They punch a hole with the enclosed needle and expose their own photograph in turn. Because of the minimal distance between the two holes the two photos overlap partly, so that a joint picture emerges, created by two people in different parts of the world. In the course of time a sort of photographic global puzzle will emerge - one continuous series of parallel exposures. All participants will receive by post an actual sized print of the partially superimposed photo which they made. At a later date the cameras will be displayed together with the parallel exposures in a permanent exhibition in the Galerie Merid in Stuttgart. They will also be published on this Internet site. In the Spring of 2006 all works to date will be published in a catalog. Read more and see some pictures...

Bin there, done that, gives awesome results if you have time to wait for the exposure to complete, it is a bit of experimenting (start off with 1 pinhole!!) but you have a dof from 0 to infinity! SHARP (kinda)

Curious for your results!
