"I love the simplicity of pinhole cameras. They can be made from anything, which allows for endless design possibilities. I have made a pinhole camera out of a pumpkin with fabulous results. There is also something special about the perspective of pinhole images. They have a way of capturing the spirit and feel of things that can be elusive in lens imagery."
