Re: What paper do you use?

hi taco,

Thank you for the recommendations.
 
I really hate asking paper questions for or about pinhole when I'm at a
commercial photo store. They usually think pinhole is juvenile, and try
to look down on you. I've learned to be prepared to make the salesperson
eat there own snobby outlook and dialogue by having some of my better
work with me, and mailers that I've saved from the galleries that I've
shown work at. Pinhole is simple, yet it's the person behind the camera
that makes the image, and pinhole is the most challenging in my opinion.
And I can just about bet that most salespersons in those stores have
never tried to get a "good" image using a pinhole camera.
