[pinhole-discussion] Authentic vs. Technologically Manipulated Art Work

Thanks to David Ocampo for brining up this interresting topic. I think the discussion of whether artists should be true to their medium or whether we should embrace new technology applies to us pinholers because many of us are taking a minimalistic approach to a technologically advanced medium:

[pinhole-discussion] Thank you!

Thank you for all the great info! You folks rule!!! Yes, I agree 35mm is little bitty. I have a Rolleicord, will experiment with that too. I also appreciate the link to the prefab covers and the scanner measuring of a pinhole. So the syringe hole will be too small. I going to strike out with

For me there is no way back to the Dark(room) Ages. I began with pinhole photography three years ago, and at the same time I began working with the digital lightroom. The simplicity and playfullness of pinhole photography is a parallell to how to work with the pictures on the computor screen

RE: [pinhole-discussion] Food for thought

I also agree with Jeff regarding where digital tools fit into photography and image making in general. I've always thought of myself as a visual artist rather than photographer or painter, enjoying both painting and photography. I have never been very good at darkroom technique, but have

[pinhole-discussion] Food for thought

I have to agree with Jeff. I the early days of photography, new techniques were being introduced quite rapidly and practitioners had to continuously learn new techniques, acquire new cameras and darkroom equipment. It wasn't until Kodak started developing film and making prints for the masses
