Re: I have a question.

Hello Travis,
congrats on finding this list! :) Guy Glorieux has recently successfully
done a wall size pinhole images of Montreal scene with paper negatives.
There also has been a lot of discussion on paper negatives here on list
recently.
It is very nice that you are excited about pinhole photography because of
cost-effectiveness etc. But ultimate use depends on your own objective and
the point you want to convey. One faction of pinholers seek to achieve
ultimate sharpness possible and the other is content with the softness that
pinhole can give. Having experienced, a LF, a pinhole and a 35mm, I would
say that all media have their own place and none is a replacement of other
because of costs involved.
But, if the cost is a limiting factor to enjoying photography, one can
develop a liking to Pinholes and really see beauty in them. You will be
amazed to see some of the photographs in World Wide pinhole day (WPPD)
gallery this year.
