This photograph is fairly derivative of the work of one of my photographic idols. His photographs are children were remarkably unsentimental and revolved around the mysteries and ambiguity of being a child. He frequently shot in attics, barns, and what were probably abandoned buildings. Anyone know who? (Not Tom! He knows!)
I don't know if he did any pinhole shooting, this was taken with a pinhole camera that takes 6x6 images on rollfilm.
And thinking about that, maybe it isn't all that different in certain respects from some of my photographs that are perceived as "random." This camera has no viewing mechanism, although I've figured it out reasonably well, but there is still always the possibility that no matter how well-planned, things can happen that weren't expected. Not all that different from real life, is it?
