Like I said, you may not buy into it... I would classifiy this guy as perhaps more "artist" than "photographer." I like it because it's provocative. And the cameras are pretty cool, I mean, skulls and dragonflies? Bizarre. -Brendan --- Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't know if

I wouldn't say pinhole photography is considered less or more "arty" than any other. But, as Belger explains, he believes pinhole photography is a more organic way to capture images. In fact, it's central to his idea of what he's trying to do in his art; connect with the subject on a deeper level.
