Sheila Bocchine Pinhole Photography

I was blown away by the images Sheila Bocchine gets out of her wooden pinhole camera! There's no lens, as light goes through the pinhole and directly onto the film for exposures. Basically, a light-proof box with a tiny aperture.

As one commentator pointed out, this is just proof that good pictures come from good photographers, not necessarily the top of the line equipment. I think a pinhole camera would make a great gift for any of those creative types in your life, those crazy cats.
