A small white cinder-block church sits close to the street on a sunny day. The simple façade has a central double door and two tall front windows, each with a white cross inset. A metal pipe hangs above the doorway, and a small cross is mounted at the top of the stepped roofline. Power lines angle across the sky overhead. Trees surround the building, and a street sign reading “Olney” stands at the right edge of the scene. The image has the soft focus and slight vignetting typical of pinhole photography.

A soft-focus pinhole photograph in a Polaroid-style frame shows two people standing in front of a wooden wall, their upper bodies partly cropped out. The person on the left wears a blue hoodie, a skirt, and sneakers, with one leg bent slightly. The person on the right wears gray dress pants and a light-colored shirt, with an arm positioned around the other person. A wooden-and-metal bench sits behind them. The long-exposure, pinhole quality creates a blurred, dreamy appearance. Blue handwritten text on the border reads “May 15, 2013” and “056/365.”

A black-and-white pinhole photograph taken outside the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The image is shot from a low angle across a tiled plaza in the foreground. On the left, a dense shrub rises against the base of the hall’s stainless steel exterior, which appears as large, softly reflective metal panels. On the right, the edge of a large spherical sculpture covered in a mosaic surface curves into the frame. The wide-angle pinhole perspective softens details and emphasizes the geometric lines and contrasting textures of the architecture and surrounding elements.

A black-and-white photograph of an industrial river scene. A wide river runs through the foreground, reflecting bright sunlight. On the right side stands a large rectangular power-plant building with tall smokestacks rising into the sky. Dense trees cluster around its base. To the left, an arched steel bridge spans the river, with a small tower structure at its center. Utility poles, cables, and scattered industrial elements line the banks. The sky is bright and mostly featureless.

Shooting pinhole in Atlanta
A black rectangular pinhole camera sits on a wooden railing in the foreground. The camera has a small red film number window in the center and two pieces of worn tape with handwritten exposure notes attached to its front. In the background, the interior atrium of the Marriott Marquis hotel in downtown Atlanta rises dramatically upward, with its curved, ribbed balconies and glass elevators creating a symmetrical, futuristic appearance. The camera is positioned so the soaring atrium structure towers directly behind it.

Pinhole photograph depicting a bronze statue of a cowboy riding a rearing horse, frozen mid-buck. The horse’s front legs are lifted high while the rider leans back, one arm raised, capturing a moment of dynamic tension. The statue sits atop a stone pedestal surrounded by trees whose branches appear blurred and wispy due to the long exposure. The soft, diffused light creates muted tones of gray and brown, and the characteristic vignetting and slight distortion of the pinhole camera lend the image a timeless, dreamlike atmosphere.
