I find this beginning thread very interesting. Process is at the root
of what we do as pinholers. This is a craftmanship process which leads
to a product that is in many ways unique. Much more so than in lens
photography, although there can be a lot of process in lens
photography. But I tend
Don't forget presentation. i.e. process, product, presentation.

I'm (re)taking basic photo in high school because of a schedule conflict...
I would say that the majority of the people in the class are just there
because it's an easy class to get out of. 10 min into the period, most of
the class is out taking pictures. I don't really mind because it leaves
What is it with these students? Or rather, at what age do you begin to be a
student with awareness of the process and your responsibilities? Same at my
high school teaching gig. . . Lot's of excuses. How's adult ed?

My undergraduate major was printmaking, specifically lithography. My
professor once told me that it doesn't matter what you do or how hard the
process is...it's the end result that people see.
Well, that's true cause all we see of each other are the postings/jpegs, the
websites, the Worldwide
I found this somewhere a long time ago, figured it was appropriate now:
This reminds me of a true story of a famous photographer, who was well
known for his amazing portrait shots who was commissioned to photograph a
famous newspaper reporter. The photographer took the reporter's portrait and

I like equipment. I like finished photos.
There are a lot of different cameras in the world. There are a lot of
different people using them in a lot of different ways. The only
photographer I need to view critically is myself.

Photography is a craft, the camera a photographer's
most important tool. Craftsman rightly have a deep
respect for their tools--love their tools even--, but
any craftsman should know that he will be judged by
the results of his labor, not by the tools he puts to
use.

Dear All,
I've used Kodak Pro100T 4x5 tungsten balanced film for color pinhole
and zone plate for three years and started using it because it was
made
Yes. That's why I dropped out of the Toy Camera group.
The whole idea behind using a poor quality plastic lensed
camera is to show that one can make a good photo (though
perhaps not a sharp photo...) with poor quality equipment.
It forces the photographer to concentrate on the photographic
