Each shutter points in a different direction and the images overlap on the film. I wanted to have a camera that would create a radically different type of image from our usual perspective, to open up new creative possibilities, and to make the most of the inherent characteristics of a pinhole camera.

A flat plane film holder can also be inserted behind the middle shutter to make more conventional images with the side shutters closed.

I also use ceramic cameras. These are both wheel thrown and hand built, and fired in a reduction kiln to 1,300 degrees centigrade.

With two of the cameras the film is on the circular inner wall of the pot. Being curved, the film gets a wide angle view through the pinhole.

Another camera I use for black and white work is a simple can with a pinhole
