How can the Camera Obscura Technique be used in modern photography?
Did you know that Camera Obscura, which is latin for dark chamber, is the term for a photography technique that can be considered the origin of modern photography? I recently discovered this ancient technology again when Lensbaby released their newest product, a pinhole lens, which I got to beta-test over the last few months. It surprised me to learn that modern photography has roots far older than a few centuries. But is any of this still relevant?
