'Slow City' (2005)
Rob Gardiner is amazing at taking pinhole photographs in my opinion. Gardiner's pinholes' look really obscure and are taken with a 4x5 pinhole camera, which are printed very well as you can see from the example above? Gardiner takes photographs around London, the photograph above is of Ironmonger Lane. The reason for taking these pinholes on this street was because Gardiner had a fascination by the construction works and wanted to view it's transformation after the 14 week “Street Improvement Project” that was said to have took place there. The photograph I have chosen is of Ironmonger Lane before the construction work.
Just for interest I have added the pinhole Gardiner had taken after the construction below:

As a photographer myself, I have a passion for taking pinhole photographs and I think Gardiner is very inspiring to me. I love making my own tiny pinhole cameras and using it to take small obscure photographs and then printing them in the darkroom. Seeing the tiny prints come to life in the dark room is an amazing feeling, that keeps my passion alive for photography, especailly pinhole photography, which is like a guessing game most of the time. However the patience is worth it with the final outcomes.
