it's like people think the most important thing about a picture
is high contrast and sharpness, which is bollocks.

I heard someone put a Henry Cartier Bresson picture up on Flickr and it got flamed!

Yeah, well that's Flickr.
Re the sharpness, I still use Vaseline on Sky filters for portraits, to get soft focus.

I got really into pinhole cameras at one point.
I heard about a guy in Scotland who made one from a Wheelie Bin. He didn't have a car, and used transport it on the bus. What a star.

is that Justin Quinnel? Wait, I think he's from Bristol, so maybe not. Anyway, you should look at his work, he has all these pictures taken from the insides of his mouth.

Never heard of him before, but I've just had a look.
Good stuff.
