Based on the earliest photographic principles, pinhole cameras allow us to return to pure analog photography, without the need of complex electrical or mechanical equipment. Their construction lends itself to a more relaxed practice of photography, without a focus on fast shutter speeds or small apertures; where the only variables are composition and proper exposure.
Instead of taking hundreds or thousands of images, the process is focused into single exposures that last anywhere from a couple of seconds to six hours, or even months at a time.
