Using a standard Holga 120 pinhole camera I got some unique pinhole style lens(less) flare while photographing this cottonwood tree one afternoon. A happy accident.

Wind and wood
Pinhole photo of a great looking cottonwood tree taken on a windy afternoon walk.
Grass and Sky 1
Pinhole photo taken at a local park in the middle of the city. If you get down low in the grass and get the right perspective you actually feel out on the grasslands. Perspective is everything.
Square frame round hole
This is a pinhole photograph taken at a local park of a hole in one of my favorite trees. For me a hole in a tree precisely expresses the essence of nature.
Old Friend
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.
Home Again
Every time I enter an old growth forest I just feel at home. Taken with my good friend the old black holga on a drive from SF to Mendocino CA.
Has a Boss
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.
Clear Creek Sunrise Pinhole
Morning light seen through the lens of a lensless camera?
Cottonwood and grass pinhole
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.
