Response to Using a Pinhole for People Photography...any thoughts?

from Todd Frederick (fredrick@hotcity.com)
Tony, I will definitely check out the Calumet ad. I don't know what the difference would be except that the Special Edition is signed and numbered...big deal!

I used to do some figure studies in the 80's and was thinking that such might be interesting for a pinhole portrait. All I need is a model! I think I will reject a self-portrait idea along those lines!

I was reading about the impressionist painters and many used early box cameras to photograph subjects from which to get ideas, and many of their painting have a "snapshot" effect with people moving in and out of the frame, or doing candid activities, and some try to give a blurred effect of people on the street, which is very possible with a pinhole.

I think there are many ideas to explore here. If someone has tried this I'd like to see a few examples.
