Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day – is a day to celebrate the simple and magical imaging technique of pinhole photography.

A Skink Pinhole Pancake is a great way to create beautiful soft and dreamlike imagery with either a digital or a film camera.

This is the seventh of a number of posts that will be devoted to the construction and the use of my 120 Matchbox Pinhole Camera. In the last post, we created our pinhole. In this post, we will attach it to the inside front…
