Worldwide Pinhole Day
Today is Worldwide Pinhole Day. Now in its fifth year, the concept is that pinhole enthusiasts simultaneously take photographs on this specific day and post the results to a central website. Last year it garnered more than 1800 entries. I’m not usually one to join in these activities, but with my recent injury I’ve been missing photography. All manner of pinhole cameras are used on the day, homemade cameras that began life as milk cartons, biscuit tins or even empty beer cans. With my trusty sidekick lending a couple of extra arms, I set off to re-photograph an old staple. Regulars to the site are surely thoroughly fed up with the reshoots of the Eye, but I find it endlessly fascinating. Shot on a 4x5 pinhole camera loaded with Polaroid 55 film.
