pinhole photo no. 1

This is what a proper pinhole photograph looks like. Pinhole photography uses a camera that has no lens, only a tiny hole. Anyone can make a pinhole camera (oatmeal boxes are favorites). With a scanner, you dont even need to go through the negative to print process, just make your photograph with ordinary photo paper, then scan and invert the color (which is what I did here).

Light passes through the pinhole and lands on the photo-sensitive material at the back of the camera. This is basically how any camera works, but without the glass to focus the light.
