the potential of pinhole

I have a love/hate relationship with my pinhole photos at times. I enjoy making pinhole photographs, and I adore the plucky, hardy, beautiful little wooden camera that helps me create them.

 

But. But! They are a pain in the rear to edit. Most film photos take me five minutes or so to edit... these pinholes take me 15. At least. Light fall-off, strange color hues (especially the red that occurs in the middle at times), lots of individual areas and corners that need their own tweaking... ARGH.

 

And! To add to that - the new(ish) numbering/Kodak paper issue. Which, in Iceland, meant guessing at how many turns it took to advance the film by one frame. I messed up. A lot.

 

All that being said, I doubt I'll ever stop using my pinhole camera(s). Although, admittedly, I use them a lot less than I used to.
