Hello...

Thank you all for the information... I've been doing a lot of research on this subject matter since I posted my questions. IMHO, using a pinhole camera seems to be akin to the concept of "Slow Foods," which you may or may not have heard about. My purpose in going to a large format V/C back a few years ago was to slow down the pace of my hectic life. Hence, I've also started using fountainpens again!

Brian... thank you for the V/C reference. I'll dig up that issue and read it.

Enrico... I am excited about giving Pinhole photography a go!

Ted... thanks for the examples. Very nice.

The artist I went to see the other evening is a photographer by the name of Diane Bos. She's known for the Gargoyle image used by UPS in Europe. I was taken aback by just how much depth of field can be had by these traditional cameras. Not only that... but there's just something about viewing her images that evoked a different feeling than that gleaned by viewing other formats. I'm not sure what that is but it could be due to the softness of the image? Interesting stuff.

That's where the show was.

Again... thank you for the great info.

Cheers
