It seems that the photographic world is pretty much divided between those who see the world as they want to see it (fantasy) and those who attempt to see the truth (reality).
Personally, I find the HOLE idea, (excuse the pun) absolutely amazing. Pinhole is magical in that it requires no sensor, no mechanical parts and no lens. While it is possible to use a pinhole in place of a lens on a digital camera to take pinhole images, a tiny hole in a simple box with a piece of light sensitive material inside is far more impressive.
The only thing I knew at that point was that that a large size matchbox has the same height dimension as a roll of 120 film. I also realized that 120 film which does not have a cassette, would require a much more robust system to make it function in this setup.
Both Pinhole and Zone Plate produce a unique softness that transforms nicely into a digitally ‘painted’ image.
Since Lytro’s introduction, there have been a few other implementations including its latest ability to produce stereo 3D imagery.
HDR used incorrectly can produce some terrible photography. However, in my opinion, when it is used well, the images it can produce are pretty amazing.

It seems to me that the only way that art will ever be able to do its job is if everyone of us are on the same page.
Anamorphic images are image perspectives that have been altered either to accommodate a surface, for an illusionary effect, or for some other reason.
