I viewed the eclipse with my son by using a pair of binoculars. We pointed
the large end of the binos toward the sun and let the image come through the
eyepiece. We focused the image against a cardboard box... Basically the same
as a pinhole except the image can be made as large as a quarter.

I have pics taken at 18:25 - 18:28 local time from my location in Phoenix.

If you want them email me and I will send them to you. There are roughly 10
pics. PLEASE state whether you want them sent as an attachment or in the
body of the email.

I expect you'll get some "no-no" mail from a few people for using
smoked glass to view the eclipse.... --Rob
