Pinhole Litter Project

Hazel let me know about a mail art site, where there was a current project on pinhole cameras. This is a collaborative pinhole project to clean up and re-engage with our surroundings, and learn about the art of pinhole photography.  You have to collect a can and photograph in its environment and then send the can off to be turned into a pinhole camera which you will then be sent back to take a photograph of the site using the can.  The aim is to replace litter with a creative vision, and the cans are later recycled.  I found this project extremely interesting as I am currently exploring the pinhole camera, so thought it would be great to get involved.  The images show the sites I found the site.  I am still waiting to receive them back, but hopefully it wont be too long.
