Chapter 20 Digital Pinhole Photography
Long before the digital photography era, I enjoyed making photographs with a 35mm film camera equipped with a pinhole instead of a lens. The editors of Popular Photography magazine liked the results and published my article “The Pinhole: A ‘Lens’ That Just Won’t Quit.”
Much has happened since that article was published back in April 1974. A renaissance of sorts has occurred in pinhole photography, and Justin Quinnell is among its leaders. His website http://pinholephotography.org is loaded with hints, tips, and unique pinhole images. (For an inspirational video about Justin’s work, see https://thelifeofdocumentary.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/the-life-of-a-pinhole-photographer/.)
