Pinhole photography, one of the earliest forms of the medium, has been revived as an exciting art form. Learn how to make pinhole cameras out of light-proof containers, such as a cookie or tea tin or a shoebox. Because there is no viewfinder or lens on a pinhole camera, every shot is a mystery, and that is part of the draw. Each photo is like a memory—some truth of what was seen, with a dream-like blur and subtle haziness. Students will learn to make a pinhole camera, take photos, and develop paper negatives using household ingredients. No prior darkroom experience is necessary. Pinhole photography affords a chance to slow down and see the world from a new perspective.

NOTE: The field trip meeting location will be discussed at class.
