trying a photo

I am going to add my first photo to the blog. This picture is a pinhole photograph, which means it was taken without a lens, light simply passes through a tiny hole drilled in a piece of metal directly onto the film. I will eventually have a pinhole photograph page on my website, but this will do for now.

It was taken at the rooftop cafe at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence this past summer.

The camera was an Agfa Clack I altered to become a pinhole. I found the instructions on Robert Kosara's site, and they
work!

What a great way to start a blog Betty! I am fascinated by pinhole photography.

What a nice surprise to see an article about you while standing in line.
