**What is Pinhole Photography? **
Pinhole photography involves creating an image by shining light through a tiny hole onto a surface, like photographic paper or film. It's a truly hands-on process that demonstrates the fundamental principles of how cameras work. It's not about high-tech equipment; it's about creativity and a little bit of patience.
