Stop, again, plus a hair

 

I photographed this intersection with the Yashica-D; I wanted to see how it would work with the drastically-different wide pinhole.

 

As for the hair. I've been getting this strange black line showing up in the lower left of the my 6x12 photographs. You can see it in the second frame, a corner of the same photograph as the first frame but before the final cleanup pass. I finally tracked it down last night as I was loading a fresh roll of film.

 

It seems there was a wispy piece of hair, mine I assume, stuck to the top right of the inside of the camera between the front pinhole and the back film plane. Pinhole cameras have an infinite depth of field, inside the camera as well as in front of it. So there was the hair, which ended up, magnified and in perfect focus, in the lower left of my photographs. Duly removed.

 

And now you know the rest of the story.
