How can I learn pin-hole photography from scratch without any prior experience?
silber.schatz asked:
I am interested in this field of pin-hole photography. I would like to learn it up and operate it. How do I get a working pin-hole camera? Is it available commercially or should I make one myself? (I am from India) Where can I learn about its construction and operation? Is there any place where I can come into contact with people of the same interest?

Make it yourself.
Search for “pinhole photography instructions” on the Internet. I’ve listed two extensive websites below.
Search Yahoo Groups for “pinhole photography” groups. There are several. I’ve listed one that’s *currently* active and has an open archive.
