Yes, pinhole photography is alive. Our own Chad Stoller has been trying his hand at it since he received a 35mm pinhole camera kit from his mom as a birthday present.
I'm sure we've all tried to make one as a grade school experiment. But there are adults who take great time and skill to cultivate the perfect pinhole camera.
In celebration, Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is this Sunday. Try your hand at something creative. Need some inspiration? Chad Stoller shared this site.
It has me asking: as technology simplifies our lives more and more, will the science behind how things work become lost?
If you were to build a camera, what materials would you use? Share your pinhole camera and photos with us.

I do remember making one of these in grade school. It's a good easy project to introduce younger ones to gadgets and technology on how a camera works.
