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

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.
