Re: pinhole is not about "sharpness"?

Optical resolution is only one of many formal categories that one can have
'disagreement' over. We can prefer and promote the circular to the
rectilinear, the completely digital free to the photoshop enhanced, the
laser drilled to a #12 sewing needle or a tin can to a handsomely crafted
commercial model.
What counts most is the continuing 'discussion' going on in the WWPD
gallery. Such a global conversation. SO much good work.
Keep talking and shooting.

Great image Jeff! 

Personally I try my best to get sharpness......

Here's a couple I took with a SnapDragon 4x5 pinhole camera
One of my customers traded me it for one of my modified Holgas.
I'm sure I got the better end of the deal......

That is a heck of a good image, my idea of an ideal pinhole image, well
executed no matter what the apeture.
