Beautiful pinhole photos. (Though I must question the ourpose of
making the main entrance an intelligence test; I would have set it up
so that a ckick anywhere on the page would advance the visitor to
the intro page. . . )

Except for the (fabulous!) panorama, I would not have identified any
of the shots as being pinhole. Many people are very happy when
their pinhole photos turn out sharp. My personal choice is to have
my pinhole shots be distinctly different from lens shots, but that's
my personal choice. (And I admit that several of your pinhole shots
could only be duplicated with a rather expensive glass ultrawide
angle lens, which I am fortunate enough to own . . . )

Ultimately, though, the photo that results is more important than
the equipment used to shoot it. If the viewer looks at the photo
and says "Wow! that's a great photo." then the photo is a success.
What matters most is not how the photo was taken, but THAT
the photo was taken.
