PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY ENCOURAGES YOU TO BREATHE, PAUSE, AND BE TRULY PRESENT IN A SINGLE MOMENT. CAMERAS ARE MADE FROM CARDBOARD TUBES LOADED WITH VINTAGE PHOTO SENSITIVE PAPER. WITH NO VIEWFINDER EACH IMAGE IS A LEAP INTO THE UNKNOWN. PINHOLE EXPOSURES LAST UPWARDS OF TWENTY SECONDS, SO A PINHOLE IMAGE DOESN'T JUST DOCUMENT A LOCATION, IT ABSORBS TIME.

Boomtowners took pinhole exposures with our pre-loaded cameras, each image captured a moment in time with exposures lasting 20 seconds or more. Some Boomtowners waited 2 days to capture their perfect moment.
