These photos were taken while the world was in lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. I had posted an open call for an online pinhole photography course—free and open to anyone in the world who wanted to join. Our cameras were made from paper or cardboard and we developed the photos with instant coffee and baking soda in our bathrooms and closets. Our group met weekly during the summer of 2020 to discuss technique, readings, the mysteries of light, the BLM protests, and for critique, community, companionship. This handmade book contains a sampling of the students' work—edited and sequenced by photographer and publisher Jason Fulford.
Many of the photos featured were taken with This Book is a Camera—the pinhole camera pop-up book I made.
