This was my greatest pleasure when I was a kid. I didn't know anything
about photography or pinholes or Camera Obscura. It was just sort of
happening with a slit in my bedroom's curtain and I would love it in the
morning or when I was supposed to take the afternoon nap...
Ilan Wolf in France travels with a pinholized van around Europe and makes
these fantastic 6 foot tall images directly fom pinholes in the van and
processed with a mop in the floor of the van...
There is also a photographer (who'se name I forgot) who photographs the
pinhole images on the wall of hotel rooms around the US. These are
striking images, since he has both the inverted pinhole image on the
wall/ceiling and the image of the hotel room. These require extremely long
exposures. I wonder how he deals with reciprocity failure. It must be
enormous.
