Pinhole Photography

Before I even begin to tell of what and why I took these photos, I must explain how. This is an Abelson Scope Works Cuboid Multi-Aspect Ratio Pinhole camera. This amazing compact camera was designed, engineered, machined, assembled and shipped by Matt Abelson of Boylston Massachusetts and is simply put a piece of art. I am one of twelve fortunate individuals, including himself, to have one of these cameras. Please take the time to watch this video were Matt shows how he builds cameras in his home shop and view some of his photos posted to his flickr page. Hopefully I can do his camera justice...
