Pinhole photography is a very different way of taking photos. The way to do it is to stick a pinhole into a piece of tin foil and stick that over a hole in a tin can. Then you spray the inside of the can black. You tape all sides of the tin foil and place a bit of tape over the hole to block out light. You cut and place a square of photographic paper and go outside. Take the tape off the hole and leave it off for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then you put the tape back on and develop your photo. The result can either be an inverted negative or a black picture. You get a black picture if the photo is exposed to light too much. You get an all-white picture if the photo was exposed to too much shadows. At Gallery 44, we took pinhole photos. There are 3 examples of pinhole pictures above and a link to pinhole photographer William Mokrynski's website in the sidebar.
