We went up to Kingman (AZ) to see about a dog. Stayed the night in Lake Havasu City again.
I have to say, it's an incredibly frustrating place for photographs. It has all the charm you would imagine a desert city--founded in the 60's with a half empty fake English village in the middle--might have. Which is to say, damn near zero.
I did a polaroid pinhole of the London Bridge and shot some color at decaying things. Best though is the portrait of my younger son.
That's taken with a #2 diopter held in front of the lens. Just a touch off on the near eye focus, but considering the wild guessing aspect of the process, pretty darn good.
In spite of the child's song, London Bridge IS NOT falling down and seems quite solid.

Steve,
I'm not sure I get it. Was the London Bridge the only pinhole? I like all of the shots. I finally finished my pinholes and used the Lennox PH. I have one for my Pentax 6x7 and one on an old Polaroid body. This technology is crazy. For the pinholes I bought; different sources give from 80mm to 117mm optimum focal length. I'm still happy I can't really change the Polaroid but I'm still changing the focal length on the 6x7. Here is my converted Polaroid:

Only the london bridge shot is a pinhole.
The others were with an old Polaroid 330 Land Camera.
Is that a square shooter? Where do you get film for it?

No, it is a Polaroid ColorPack II. I got it to take the lens out to make a lens cap lens for my Pentax 6x7. It is my best portrait (soft) lens. And the pinhole that you see is a Pack film user. Here is a FujiFP100b shot, my first one with the pinhole.
