Ireland Yard Pinhole
Pinhole photograph, 4x5 format on Polaroid 55 film.
London is such that you can wander around and discover a nice
view, return home to see if there is anything noteworthy about it, and
discover it was Shakespeare’s House, well off the tourist trail at least on this particular Sunday.
A pinhole camera, if you did not know, is a camera with no lens,
shutter, viewfinder, or meter, and is essentially just a piece of film
in an empty box. My 4x5 pinhole does have groundglass, so if you throw
a big black horsecloth over your head, you get to see a faint outline.
It produces images like this, this, this, and this. I have pinholes littered around my site, I should really clean this place up.
