"To create a pinhole camera, you need a light-tight container and a small hole, ideally the size of a sewing needle, about half a millimeter. When enough light hits the photographic paper inside, an image is formed."
"Breslin's series, 'Squaremeals: A Pinhole Diary of Eating Out,' involves taking a single image during meals with friends. The long exposure results in sharp still objects and blurry moving subjects, creating a ghostlike effect."
"Breslin reflects on the nature of memories, stating, 'It becomes very ghostlike. Is that not the way our memories work? You know, our memories aren't tight. It's more like the impression.'"
Pinhole photography is an analog technique that utilizes a small aperture and a light-proof container to create unique images. April 26 is recognized as Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. Nancy Breslin, a fine art photographer, explains the process of using a pinhole camera, which can be made from everyday objects like a cookie tin. The exposure time can range from a few minutes to several hours, resulting in surreal images. Breslin's series, 'Squaremeals: A Pinhole Diary of Eating Out,' captures the essence of memories through pinhole photography.
