P-35 pinhole camera
Slower Thoughts
Color: Khaki
Product Details
A pinhole camera works by using a small pinhole to project light onto the film. With no lens involved, the camera has infinite depth of field, meaning everything stays in focus with a soft, dreamlike quality. If you're looking to capture photos that are a little unpredictable and unlike anything you'd get with a smartphone, this camera offers that experience. Without a lens, you can expect photos with a distinct, ethereal charm.
This camera is mercifully free of screens, batteries, or cables. You wind the film and open and close the shutter yourself, adding to the tactile experience of each shot.
The P-35, our in-house made pinhole camera, uses standard 35mm film. While smaller than the 120 format, you get the advantage of many more shots per roll and film easily found at local stores.

Specifications
Golden Gate Bridge
There is no doubt a modern phone takes impressive photos. You will be assured of technically accurate, often predictable images. Most will never escape your phone.
However, things are quite the opposite with a pinhole camera, because there is no software to make sure you color within the lines. Instead, it blends chaos and art. The result is often intriguing, occasionally awful, and sometimes magic.
Here, the Golden Gate Bridge takes on an ethereal energy as the waves blur with motion.
