“I love dressing my little girl up in vintage clothes and feel a pinhole camera would have added to the vintage feel.”
“This is a photo from my recent trip to Venice. I think that this setting would have been perfect for a pin hole camera. The long exposure and creepy atmosphere would have worked well with the amazing angles and crumbling buildings. ”
“This is my favorite photo, which I call Mourning Fog. It's about six and a half years old, taken at Wildwood Cemetary in Bartow, Florida. I was walking my dog and noticed how cool the views were so I started snapping pictures. Imagine how creepy it would have been with a pinhole camera and a long exposure instead of a cheap digital!”
“I just got back from Madeira, which I was surprised to discover was very mountainous and green! This photo doesn't do it justice!”
“Pinhole cameras are so fun they make life more interesting - this is a photo of one of my canning projects.”
“I took this photo at Navy Pier, it would have been 1000 times better if it was a long exposure (moving clouds) with a pinhole!”
“I took this photo in a graveyard, it would look all ghosty with a pinhole camera!”

“I wish i had taken this awesome photo of me and my friend Charmaine fooling around with make up before a trip out to the mall where we took alot of crazy photos. ”
“I wish that I would've had a pin hole camera last month! My 15 year old daughter had a raging party while I was out of town, I just know it! Deny deny deny...haha”

“i would want to have a pinhole camera so i can take better creeper shots of dancers on vacation and my friends!!!! LOL”
“This is my Orange Tree, he grew from a seed I planted. He looks nice in all kinds of photo filters when i'm editing this photo, so I thought that it would look nice if this picture was taken also with a pinhole camera, as I have never tried it before!”
“This is Sandy, a squirrel I rescued from being hit by a car. <3”

“I know that it would be hard make the model stay in one position for the exposure time, but if they can I love how long exposure film images look. Especially with people. ”
“I love to look of long exposure, pin hole camera photos, especially when they show the progression of light onto the scape. ”
“This is a photo of our cat, Marty, and I absolutely love the way his face looks.”
