Sudden thought...

"Whatever you do, you have to do it as though it is the most important thing in the world."

Eased off Google Ads

Hey. You might have noticed that I've eased off the Google Ads on the site. I'll have to ask you to overlook my having placed them throughout the site in such quantity. The ads help pay for the hosting costs of the site, which can be significant owing to the number of visits the site gets on the average month.

I hope you find the 'dialed-back' site with fewer ads and more content about the images to be pleasing.

Pinhole photography around the world

I'd really like to put an exhibition of single images from pinhole artists around the world. This would similar to world wide pinhole photography day, but different in that the images don't have to be taken on that day.

If you're interested in participating please choose one or two of the images you think best of and use the (upload form) upload your images to the gallery. Please provide details about your location and involvement in pinhole photography and about the images themselves.

Let's show the world the richness and creativity that abounds in the international pinhole photography scene!

The face of pinhole photography

I'm putting together a new facet of the pinhole gallery; a portrait gallery. If you're interested in participating please use the (upload form) upload your portraits to the gallery.

I'm looking at dividing the portrait gallery into two groups; self-portraits and portraits of others. So, if you have images that are suitable please send them in.

Stay tuned and I hope to see your images in the new gallery soon!

About the Gallery

The Pinhole Gallery started when I had to give up teaching. I wanted to continue to involve myself with photography in some way and pinhole photography was something I had been doing to the exclusion on pretty much everything else, it seemed the perfect thing.

I wanted to focus on the elegant simplicity and boundless creative possibilities that is pinhole photography. I also wanted to collect work from around the world to share it with people everywhere and excite people into starting to explore pinhole photography as a medium of expression.

The Pinhole Gallery went online in January 1997 and has been growing and changing ever since. The Pinhole Gallery is open to one and all with a particular focus on community, group and not-for-profit events and exhibits.

ATTENTION
Please send me your biographies and artist's statements! I'd like to include them in the gallery section. Send me your biography.

Thanks!
