A pinhole camera is a simple camera (can be made using cardboard too) without a lens and with a single small aperture – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. The basic procedure of a pinhole involves light passing through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, that is photography in its simplest form. The human eye in bright light acts similarly, as do cameras using small apertures.

I work at a camera store near Milwaukee, WI and uncovered an old Kodak Retina on the back of a dusty shelf. As any Lomographer would do, I pulled it out, grabbed a roll of Fuji Superia 400 speed film and started snapping away.

What’s the essence of a country? What’s the feeling that you get from a land? What defines city flavour? What remains in your memory when you leave a certain place? What’s Tipish Nederlandese about Amsterdam? If there's one thing that best characterizes it, it has to be without a doubt, the canals. The canal system running through the city resembling blood veins and giving it life.
