Pinhole Cameras

They are simple boxes with a little hole, but they are able to create true photos.

A pinhole photo has a charme that involve not only sight, it recalls feelings and memories, wrapping up them in a softened silence, where from far they nearly hear voices of the places fixed on paper’s shade. The photographer’s eye doesn’t modify its own vision towards a lens, but it looks for what it wants, interpreting what surrounds it. You not only shoot a photo, but it is similar to write on paper thoughts and emotions.

The two images publicated are the positive and negative of a proof on photographic paper with my first camera, a 35mm of maple. I wanted to verify if the picture obtained was big enough. It is a view from the bottom upwards in a building’s courtyard. I couldn’t believe to my eyes when first lines appeared in dark room.
