A log of the most interesting photo-related websites and photography news I run across.Wednesday, May 04, 2005
A fellow Keith and good friend (Keith Philpott, that is) sent me a link to a Czech site devoted to pinhole photography, on which the author, David Balihar, details his recreation of a classic pinhole camera, the "Dirkon." The Dirkon, made from stiff paper, is a functioning pinhole camera which uses 35mm film -- and the fun part is, it looks like a 35mm SLR, also. The author includes some examples of photos he took with his Dirkon, which served to remind me how surprisingly good the photos from a pinhole camera can be.
There's also a link to World Pinhole Day on the above site. Sorry to say, the most recent day, April 24, 2005, just passed without me having a chance to participate, but there's always next year. In the meantime, there are tons of (surprisingly good) pinhole camera photographs done by participants from around the world -- who were obviously more hip to the (whole) pinhole thing than me.
