pinhole photography

Photographer, Sheila, emailed me the other day about her fascinating technique and camera which result in some really interesting images. Here is a quick description of her work, straight from Sheila herself:

"My pinhole camera is lensless, uses medium format (120) film, is made from teak wood and produces square images. The exposures are longer to compensate for the pinhole, which is why you will see subtle blur and motion in all of my images. Since the world rarely stands still, my pinhole camera captures all the beautiful motion and energy onto the negative, thus resulting with dreamscape-like qualities. I feel like each pinhole photograph is a marvelous dream… a surreal and whimsical moment in time that has swirled around my daydreams before coming out as the perfect pinhole photograph."

These are my favorite shots; see more in Sheila's Etsy shop, Daisy Jellybean.
