The Pinhole Photographer

I met an amazing photographer yesterday on the renovated High Line in New York City. He is a pinhole photographer, he takes small metal tins and pokes holes in them and takes beautiful and evocative photographers. He drooled over my big and beautiful Canon, but he says he has 50 pinhole cameras, they cost 50 cents apiece.

I bought a photograph he tool of a Ferris Wheel at Coney Island, he told it to me for $20, he spends several days a week in a freezing wind tunnel out of the sunĀ  in a High Line tunnel. We talked a bit, he inspired me very much. I’ll share the photograph tomorrow, tonight I’ve got to get some sleep.
