INTRODUCING: ATTILA HUPJAN

PHOTO: A HUPJAN

This wonderful image was taken on Mexico's Riviera Maya by Attila Hupjan of Budapest, Hungary.

Attila captured this with a Zero 612B with Fuji Sensia 100, exposed for 3 seconds. We can't wait to see more of his work. Watch this space!

LAUSANNE: "FRIENDS"

PHOTO: C METTRAUX

This is the first portrait to grace pin.pan, and what a stonker.

Chris Mettraux is the man behind the camera, a Swiss photographer and web designer with an excellent website featuring loads of his photos. Yep.

This was taken at the Vidy skate bowl in Lausanne.

INTRODUCING: JAMES CATHCART

PHOTO: J CATHCART

James Cathcart calls this one "At the Edge". It's what northern California looks like on a windy winter's day.

Also known as openworkstudio, James is from Medellin, Colombia, and lives in Brooklyn, New York. You can browse his extensive portfolio on his Flickr photostream.

While this was shot with a Holga WPC on Ilford HP5 400, James takes some great photos with all sorts of cameras. Check out his Polaroid pinholes for some astounding Brooklyn landscapes.

LONDON: VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM

PHOTO: GONZO

The V&A is a museum so outrageously decorative, it can make some of its exhibits look a little dowdy. Here's some symmetrical grandeur from Gonzo, captured with his trusty Gonzorama, which was a dominoes box in a previous life.

Gonzo took more great shots that day: here's the museum foyer and the plaster incarnation of Michaelangelo's David.

INTRODUCING: SHIKIKO ENDO

PHOTO: SHIKIKO ENDO

This is Kiyosu Bridge in Tokyo. It was captured by Shikiko Endo with a pinhole blender camera and is one of many images she's created this way, though this represents just a small part of her work.

Shikiko has exhibited in Japan and she writes a photo blog that's well worth a visit. There's plenty of pinhole work to study and admire on her seemingly endless Flickr photostream, too.

INTRODUCING: MICHAEL D. HAWLEY

PHOTO: M HAWLEY

Happy new year! We begin 2011 in style with this jaw-dropper from Michael D. Hawley.

You can see more of Michael's work at his excellent website, Flickr page, and very soon on these pages...

This pinhole image entitled "South Coast" was taken on a Holga wide
pinhole camera with Kodak 160VC 120film, no mask. 8 minute exposure at
dusk.

I photographed this image while on vacation with my wife on the south
coast of Hawaii's Big Island. This pier was destroyed during World War 2
by the United States so that the Japanese could not use it as a
landing point.
