In honor of worldwide pinhole day. One of the reasons to pursue pinhole photography is the surprise you get when you see the results and if there is one thing we all need it is a little surprise.

We can easily recognize that this has a boss…humans.
This panoramic pinhole is one of many versions of the same type of city scene I repeatedly photograph year after year always with a feeling of how unnatural and repulsive the scene of tangled wires and mid-seventies cityscape is. I always ask why? Why photograph this mess? Does this scene provide a needed contrast in my brain so that I can recognize the beauty provided by the natural world? Experience and modern research suggests that the power of what we call the natural world or nature is innate. It is time we stop believing there are two worlds, the natural and the man made, and realize they are one and the same. Get out and enjoy nature.

Morning light seen through the lens of a lensless camera?

I really like using a panoramic pinhole camera to make portraits of the cottonwood trees at the local parks. Getting the full height of the tree in the frame always seems a challenge.
