The shutter of Michael Chrisman’s pinhole camera was open for 31,536,000 seconds – all of 2011. A black box mounted was “secured” with tape and brick onto a rusty shipping beacon in Toronto’s Port Lands on January 1, 2011 and retrieved on New Year’s Eve. There’s your money shot.
“I’m thrilled with it,” the freelance photographer/pinhole enthusiast says. “It’s a very dreamy photo. This one has a soft and kind of foggy feel.” And ooh, ahh — it does look nice, with practice and luck. He adds that since he’s gotten brazen with his pinhole camera placements, they’ve been getting jacked. Make that “luck” part a double.
Really nice and challenging photograph.

nice article from
Why is is work so hard to find on the web? All I get are versions of this story.
The image is pleasing enough…but as an expert in pinhole photography, I am skeptical. Did Marina Galperina authenticate that this work is produced as represented? I will be surprised if this image holds up to scrutiny.
Definitely a worth while project for such an interesting shot. Congratulations!
What a great concept… ever thought of doing a 365 on a forest or somewhere that we can see some vegetation grow? Just a thought.
