I love pinhole photography. The fact that people will take a gamble on a piece of film for months—or even years—strikes me as almost romantic, like a time capsule. This longest-ever exposure shows 34months of New York life.
Asier Gogortza has made pinhole cameras of military bunkers and made visual again their connections with their landscapes. Drawing on the researches of Paul Virilio and related to the work of Abelardo Morell his images transform these interior spaces by seeming to both flatten them to an image and open them to a landscape. Even more than Morell's spaces these views quite literally formed the buildings into instruments to view and control. With thanks to Asier for the information and photographs. How did you choose which bunkers to use? There are thousends of bunkers around all Europe, so i have a lot of "cameras" to choose from. I have visited a lot of locations and I chose depending on the landscape around the bunker and the interior architecture of the bunker. Did you create your pinhole in positions where there had been windows or other openings? Yes, the window is the place where i put the little hole, so the landscape you see from inside the window is the landscape that will be projected on the wall of the bunker. Are the views of landscape therefore representative of certain historical points of views? Of certain soldiers at specific historical times? The project talks about the relationship of the bunker, like a human construction, and the landscape. This landscape is the target of the building, the bunker is made to shoot at this concrete landscape. Those war constructions they have something that attracts me, because they talk to us about another period of history. Now they are like monolithic sculptures, totally anachronistic in peace time, and they have been fighting only against time and nature. It seems that often these war bunkers are reflections/creations of their landscape and environment, did you find new connections between the buildings and their landscapes? Yes, for me it is interesting the conversation that develops between the bunker and the landscape. The bunkers are places from where you can look to the landscape without being seen, they are always in good locations with panoramic views. The objective of the bunker is to control and dominate all the territory, and finally appropriate the landscape. I think the final objective of all landscape photographers is the same. On the other hand, its interesting to study how nature fights against the bunker, recognizing in it a strange element. You can see bunkers totally crooked in the beaches, or others totally covered by weeds in the mountain. I have seen your careful working method on your stop motion animations on your flickr page, how did you prepare the bunkers to take these images? What sort of equipment and exposures did you use? First of all I make the bunker dark. I use black plastic. Then i put the pinhole in the window and i go inside with the digital camera and the tripod. I shoot with very high sensitivities, 2.500 or 3200 ISO, because otherwise the exposure time would be very long and with digital cameras you have a lot of noise in that case.
Since yesterday was both Easter and Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, it inspired Francesco Capponi to attempt a project he'd been thinking about for years, converting an egg into a single-use camera obscura: The purpose was to sacrifice the camera in the process of photo creation I wanted the camera to become the photograph. To let you understand, the process from the camera to the photograph is the same that ties the baby bird to the egg: the bird grows protected from the shell and when it's ready breaks it and comes out. This is why I decided to create the Pinhegg An Egg Pinhole Camera.

bird food!!!. twenty-four pinholes.
I tested different B&W papers using filmcans each with a pinhole of about 0.25 mm. Exposure time: 19.03.-19.04.2011. No editing except for inverting. I hoped to see a more clear difference between the Ilford and the others which are high speed papers. My favorite is the Foma (2). However, the pinhole itself seems to be the most influencal factor on image quality. In my opinion #2 does not only show the most details in the shadows but is also the sharpest image. The pinhole in #4 is simply scrap. 1 Ilford MG IV RC Deluxe 2 Foma Fomaspeed N312 3 Bergger Variable CB 4 Kentmere Fineprint VC 5 Adox Easyprint 312 I know of two similar experiments out there: www.solargraphy.com/index.php?option=com_content&task... and www.greggkemp.com/projects/papers-for-solargraphy

This a pinhole photo taken in my shanghai apartment. The idea came when I was looking at printing time on a frame and one morning I just took the 6x6 camera and put it on my door disk on the turntable. Tim Franco is a shanghai photographer who specializes in documentary and editorial photography. Full portfolio here: timfranco.com/ exposure time: "L america" the doors ;)

Pinhole shot, by novemberkind
This shot gives an idea of the size of the Kombi, and a better view of the ornate engraving on the front. It says, "A combined camera and graphoscope" (a graphoscope being a photo viewer).

Essa a nova câmera que vinha trabalhando já tem algumas semanas, quando sobrava um tempinho lá ia eu serrar, colar, furar e tudo mais. Ficou bem bacana, o resultado para o primeiro rolo me agradou e não vazou nada luz. Fiz uma alteração na distância focal que estava e 30mm fiz agora ela ficar com 25mm. O que espero criar uma vinheta interessante! No próximo rolo vamos evr se deu tudo certo! _______________________ www.marcoscampos.com.br

Picture taken with a pinhole camera (a soda can), exposed 6 months, on black & white paper, looking West with the Madison Square Garden in the foreground.
www.pinholecamera.com/ Okay, to be quite honest, I have not shot with this camera for a few years now. I should do it again some time soon. I got a fantastic new Gitzo tripod yesterday and also have an 18mm viewfinder now. So this whole experience should be much more predictable. I wish it had a digital back. ; )
This is a 3 month exposure of the Saamis Teepee in Medicine Hat, AB Canada. Used a pin hole camera made out of a beer can.
