  • Gorgeous pinhole photograph by Michael McNeil in Ireland

    Michael McNeil: It’s the first time I’ve used this film, so it was all a bit of an experiment.  As usual, I did no research before I went out. I appreciate how he detailed the struggle and sort of out-of-control feel that pinhole photography can be. Regardless, stunning result.
