It’s great to be a photographer in the 21st<br />
century. Available to us is an immense<br />
variety of cameras equipped with effective<br />
autofocus, reliable metering systems,<br />
a wealth of shooting modes and high-quality<br />
optics. The technology of the digital age has<br />
made it easy for any photographer to get a<br />
sharp and well-exposed image.<br />
It’s ironic, then, that a growing number of<br />
photographers are seeking a back-to-basics<br />
approach using simple toy cameras, pinhole<br />
cameras, ‘vintage’ cameras with non-coated<br />
optics, and basic ‘point and shoot’ film cameras.<br />
Some are even fitting plastic optics or<br />
pinhole converters to their digital cameras.<br />
