I agree that time is one of the dimensions that I really enjoy when experiencing the pinhole camera. I started taking night photography last year which has 1-30 minute exposures and that experience taught me that capturing time and motion over time was a very different experience. (http://www.thenocturnes.com/gallery.htm) The pinhole/zone allow me the ability to blur time in the same way during the daylight. (http://www.interwalk.com/time-sq-11.htm)
This basic insight into the fact that each cameras (type) look at the world differently, has encouraged my wife and I to take our zoo of cameras when we go out shooting. One of my current experiments is to pretend that a given camera has "likes", "dislikes", "gets confused", etc. "Holga gets confused when there are too many things in the background", "Zone likes the dog laying there on the grass". This has been quite useful in getting an emotional language around the kinds of images these types of cameras create. Mark www.interwalk.com/gallery.htm -- Original Message -- > >> TIME!
