Darren Constantino > May 2009 – Featured Pinhole Photographer

There is a wonderful series by Julie Schachter in The Visionary Pinhole by Lauren Smith. These photos were so inspirational, so...

Peter Wiklund > July 2008 – Featured Pinhole Photographer

“I started taking pinhole photographs in the early 1990s, after having seen some image (don’t remember which one any longer) with an extremely tempting expression.
