    Pinhole Exhibition Opening

Cameras Out of Lunch Boxes
Nine photographers from Baku built their own cameras out of lunch boxes and turned them on the city — no lens, no viewfinder, nothing but a small hole and time. Exposures were judged rather than measured, and nothing could be seen until it was developed. The photographs they made were included in Camera out of Nothing, shown alongside the work of a group of prominent international photographers.
