A couple of days ago I posted about a project where I taught teens in one of Windhoek’s vulnerable communities to make matchbox pinhole cameras. I lamented how few of the photos had turned out because I had failed to actually make one of the cameras myself in order to use my own experience to better instruct the teens.
Well it turns out it wouldn’t have made a difference. Below the six best (of 36) photos taken from my first matchbox pinhole camera. All the more respect for these pinhole photographers on Flickr.
Above is a photo of two ducklings (right of the photo) taken from a back yard deck. Below a park bench with a paper plate on it. I was trying to photograph pigeons next to the bench.

Needless to say, I’m back to conventional photography…
