After years spent admiring and/or acquiring expensive photo equipment, I have given up and gone back to the most primitive film cameras possible--pinhole cameras. The photos I post here are all related to pinhole photography--its evocative mood, depth of field, and distortions.

The cameras I use for pinhole pictures are all cobbled together from bits of old cameras, household materials, soup cans, tape, glue, plywood, roof flashing, and metal things from the hardware store. . . . Cheap, cheap, cheap!

While I admire the digital constructions of other photographers, nothing thrills me more than the simple magic that happens somewhere between an aperture and a piece of film.
