No, this is not another hipster trend that's going to raise your hackles: organic photography, deconstructed portraiture...

This is a labour of love and a journey of discovery where amateur photographers in WA's Great Southern are making their own pinhole cameras - and there is no limit to what they can use to take a picture.



Even a potato.

Colin Lowe and his good mate Bob Symons are members of the ACE Camera Club which meets fortnightly in Albany for photographic expeditions and exhibitions.

They share a love of pinhole photography, one of the art's most basic forms, where a simple camera is created with a lightproof box, a piece of film or photographic paper and a tiny hole to act as the lens.
