Pinhole Tribute

I don’t have anything very exciting to show for my matchbox pinhole camera. This one immediately reminded me of Nicéphore Niépce’s ”La cour du domaine du Gras”, or ”View from the Window at Le Gras” for us English swine. The only difference being, mine is about as revolutionary as a Che Guevara T-shirt.

I’m not sure whether it’s just because I know what it is that I can see what it is though. Can anyone else make it out?

    A photo of your side mirror of your car?

  2. Alys says:


    Its a pic from your car in our flats parking lot.

    At first I was completely clueless… didn’t know what it was… but after staring at it I came to the conclusion that it was you hanging out your car taking a pic – so the mirror, the street, some houses?

    Well, it looks like you are all right, either you are all impressive detectives, or my pinhole camera was not as bad as I thought it was. I still doubt it will win any Pulitzers though.

    And alys was the most correct, that is our flat on the right-hand side.

    Its strange how Alys knows where you took a photo. Its like you guys see each other all the time.

  6. Jay says:


    Yeah, its weird… I guess I should have specified, “this competition is not open to employees of Ossum, or their family members”.
