L&C Trail Pinhole Photos

      I recently biked the Lewis and Clark Trail; I took three cameras:  My iPhone camera, a 35mm Canon AE-1 Program, and a 120mm pinhole camera (Pin-Holga).  The Pinhole camera is a DIY camera that I made several years ago.  I took the lens off the Holga toy camera and converted it into a pinhole camera.  The results are images that are very abstract, stark and contrasty, with rich, beautiful blacks, and surreal textures and grain.  I hope you enjoy these pinhole images shot on the Lewis and Clark Trail during my 2024 bicycle tour.

This blog is dedicated to the Pinhole photography of Mark Furches.  All of the photos in this collection were shot on homemade DIY pinhole cameras.  Pinhole cameras are mesmerizing and extremely fun to use.  The shot photographs are always a surprise and bring joy to my heart.  There is a magical, celestial, and surreal quality to the photographs that can not be matched by any camera with a glass lens.  The funny thing is, there isn't much to it.  All you need is a container with a tiny prick of a pinhole in it, a flap used as a shutter, and light sensitive film.  Pull the flap, shine light on the film, and voila, you have an exposed negative.  Take your negative to the darkroom to process it, and in a matter of minutes you have a glorious, otherworldly pinhole photograph.  If you are interested to learn more about pinhole photography check out the book "Pinhole Cameras: A Do-It-Yourself Guide" by Chris Keeney.  Keep shooting, have fun, ...
