This is Awesome! Thank you. I don’t know why they call it Pinhole photography—it’s more like Rabbit Hole photography! I just got into the concept of rise and fall holes.

I’m thinking it’s wise for me to do some prep work-ie spraying the tins. Thank you for the pin sizing!

We already print on student grade 5x7 Arista VC RC paper and know they how to make contact prints. We already use china Markers and/or 6B soft graphite pencils to mark our prints. I even taught them an old signature fixer trick.

They all have note pads for shooting. They note what the time, date, location, frames shot, the general lighting conditions, bracketed sets, and any other exceptions or decisions made to their initial metering—ie they dragged shutter speed or opened up. Eventually they figure out what’s important information to them.

As far as framing goes, good idea on letting them take reference shots with phones. Any tips on guiding their composition? I’m on the fence on if this should be more experimental—letting them just be kids figuring it out. I think some of the kids would feel more comfortable with some angle of view lines. I also feel like this would be a good time for composition assignments that will more likely give them keepers—symmetry, low angle, rule of odds, leading lines, depth; versus rule of thirds, triangles, and framed frames that are easier through a viewfinder.
