With lens photography you walk through a park, stalk your prey and at 1/500 sec. zap, you got it. With pinhole photography you walk through a park, stalk your prey, check lighting conditions, shadows, where to place the cookie can and remove ever so gently the electrical tape covering the pinhole.

Thanks for the help, listfolks. After reading some of the how/why debate...I'm going to see if the local library can find RCO's pinhole thesis, so I can take a tangential (oops, sorry, more techobabble) look at the artform from my own microscopic (or would that be myopic?) approach. Murray

Hi, I'm a photography student beginning to use pinhole cameras to make images because of the aesthetic... I'm interested in the circular images fading away to black and also the way that they have a soft diffused feel to them.. and I don't want to depress anyone here, but my work has a sense of

Hello: I'm deeply rooted in the 'how' first, before the 'why'. It's my nature to try and understand processes before I experiment with them, so thus far, I'm mostly an 'armchair' pinholer (I spend alot of time planning great things rahter than doing them). I think there is some validity in this

Dear Murray You can buy a paper safe which is a black plastic box with light traps that can be opened and shut or do as I have done on occassions which is to make one out of black foam core. You just have to measure accurately, create the light traps and you have a servicable light-tight paper

TIME! It is all about the time of the thing... I have shot pinhole images that take anywhere from 10 seconds to one week or two. I can live life during those times. I can have memories of a life lived and experiences had during the exposure of those images. I can remember things that I did
