Featured Pinhole Photographer- Paul Prober

Back in 2003, Lenox Laser hosted a Pinhole Competition. The submitted pictures were all stunning- beautiful and ethereal compositions of ordinary objects seen through the magical eye of a pinhole. You can view the photographs in the Pinhole Gallery of our Lenox Laser Wiki Knowledge Base.

I would now like to go back and revisit the photographers that contributed. So the first Featured Pinhole Photographer is Paul Prober.

He submitted two photographs to the competition- "Leaving Station" and "Courthouse Back Arch." Here again are the two photos:

"Leaving Station" Paul Prober

"Courthouse Back Arch" Paul Prober

I personally love the trees seen through the train on "Leaving Station." And "Courthouse Back Arch" is haunting in its beauty.

Paul Prober owns his own website, www.huecandela.com where he makes and sells other pinhole photography products. He and Bill Wellman also wrote a paper "Optimum Pinhole Camera Design." You can find it on the website or read it directly here.

What do you think of these photographs? Does it inspire you to try pinhole photography? It certainly inspires me! Let us know in the comments what you think, and also if you would be interested in participating in another Pinhole Competition in the (near?) future.
