You might think of pinhole photography as an exercise for an introductory photography course, and it often is. I was first introduced to pinhole photography when I happened to have a booth next to Tom Miller at the art fair Art-A-Whirl in Minneapolis. I found Tom's work to be very alluring and beautiful. The thought of making a photograph with a camera that had a small pinhole for a lens and no mechanism for focus or aperature was perplexing, and maybe scary to not have those controls. I tried for years to make a decent pinhole photograph after seeing Tom's work. It is still difficult to make a good image, but now it is also liberating to not have all the controls available.
