Steven Taft, a tutor at Ringling School of Art and Design in Florida, has a big collection of pinhole work in his site, The existential acrobat.

Tricia Rosenkilde has a show at Soho Photo in New York until the end of December, with panoramic pinhole landscapes and city scapes from Paris and Italy that were made with converted food tins as cameras.

Realising that I (naturally) tended to bring back to the studio […]

Rob Gardiner has been following the route of the Circle Line, walking through London with his large format pinhole camera and a stack of Polaroid film. It’s a wonderful project in many ways. There’s a basic disconnect between the tube map (or, more accurately the diagram) and the real geography of the city: when you’re […]
