"Pinhole photography has been my primary art medium since 2006. A pinhole camera has no lens, and pinhole photography is therefore a type of lensless photography. Instead of the light entering the camera through a series of refractive glass elements, it enters more simply -- through a small circular hole (a fraction of a millimeter in diameter) to thereby strike the film and create the exposure. My pinhole photography has thus far been film-based, on either medium format film or large format (4x5) film. The cameras that I use include Zero Image cameras, Abelson Scope Works cameras, and a couple of other handmade cameras. In general, all of my cameras have very wide fields of view, ranging from 120 degrees to 160 degrees.
Infinite depth of field comes with two tradeoffs, however. First, the photographer loses the ability to purposely limit depth of field, and second, exposure times are comparatively very long with a pinhole camera. When shooting outdoors in bright sunshine, exposure times are roughly one second, and, for dimly lit interiors like churches, exposure times typically range from thirty to sixty minutes! These longer exposure times necessitate the use of a tripod, typically with a cable shutter release to open and close the camera's wood shutter, situated in front of the pinhole.
My main subjects of interest are architectures, landscapes, and portraits. I enjoy giving visual presentations on pinhole photography, and I also do pinhole photography by commission.
My work has been published in print-based books, electronic books, magazines, and blogs, and I have been interviewed about my photography. I show my work in exhibitions, and my art has been purchased by enthusiasts and photography art collectors. Prints of my art photography are available for purchase here. "
So, I happened upon this guy's work, and I thought he had some really cool pinhole images. If you guys wanna check him out (he has posted a LOT of pinhole), here's his flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41427422@N00
