These containers will be turned into pinhole cameras tomorrow, hence they are "pinhole trainees". It seemed fitting to take a picture of them with a prototype oatmeal pinhole camera today.
I'm teaching a class of kindergarteners tomorrow about pinhole cameras, and each will make one and then have their picture taken. 20 kids, 20 cameras, 20 chances to screw up. They will only be doing a couple of things to make the camera, since they're mostly 5 years old. The exciting thing for them will be a picture to take home, and a 'camera' that they made themselves. And parents will marvel that an oatmeal box can take pictures at all!
I had first settled upon using a 6x6 roll film back from my 4x5 camera as the film carrier, with the intention of advancing the film between shots, and simply putting the holder into each camera when it was time. However when parents started collecting oatmeal containers, I realized I'd forgotten one vital element: there are two sizes of oatmeal containers! I had only planned for the large.
Back to the drawing board. Plan B is to use 4x5 film holders in the large containers, and 2x3 holders (of which I have plenty) in the small containers. I was willing to pay for a couple of rolls of 120 film to be developed, but I'm not developing 20+ 4x5 chromes done on a pinhole!
Someone gave me a box of Tri-X 320 awhile back, which is the fastest black and white sheet film I own. Never used the stuff before. I think I need to downrate the speed a little, but otherwise it worked fine. I will have to cut it to 2x3 sheets for the smaller holders, as I don't have anything precut in that size and speed. I will develop all the film myself and then decide how I want to print it (scan or contact-print/enlarge on my 6x7 enlarger).
I hope to post some pictures from the results later.

Synopsis
Vascular Surgery is an essential aid for candidates sitting surgery examinations who need a practical understanding of vascular surgery.
Edited by prominent vascular surgeons in the USA and UK, the book tackles the epidemiology and etiology of atherosclerosis and how to evaluate patients with vascular disease. Specific vascular diseases are then covered and their treatment options discussed. Vascular Surgery adopts a transatlantic approach so that chapters are written either by a practitioner in the USA or UK, and each chapter is critically appraised by a colleague who provides a potentially alternative perspective.
This book is recommended to be read by trainees in general and vascular surgery and those who have already qualified but might need further knowledge of this important field.

Reviewer: Brian G Peterson, MD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This book is part of a series of surgical texts that gives a brief overview of the basic principles and clinical management of commonly encountered disease processes:in this case, in the field of vascular surgery.
Purpose: The purpose is to serve as a practical overview for directing the management of vascular patients. The objective is not to be a comprehensive, exhaustive resource for the treatment of vascular disease, but rather to be a much more manageable way of addressing the issues physicians face when treating patients with vascular diseases. The authors have successfully accomplished these objectives.
Audience: According to the editors, this book is intended for surgical residents or those who have recently graduated from vascular surgery training programs. This seems to be an appropriately targeted audience, in addition to physicians preparing for certification examinations. The editors have certainly gathered a knowledgeable group of contributing authors.
Features: This book covers a broad range of topics encountered in the field of vascular surgery including medical management, diagnostic workup, perioperative and operative approaches, and emerging concepts. The uniqueness of this book lies in its international perspective:drawing upon the expertise of vascular surgeons from both the United States and Great Britain. While illustrations are lacking in some chapters, the organization of each chapter aids in the understanding of the material.
Assessment: This is a useful book for recently graduated trainees preparing for examinations in vascular surgery and for those who learn best by visualizing the "big picture," or understanding general concepts, rather than being inundated by an overwhelming amount of statistics and trivial minutia.
