graphic design, art, typography and architecture

I last experimented with a pinhole camera about 20 years ago. I remember being absolutely fascinated by the whole concept: a cardboard box with a pin-size hole and I could take photographs! Well, Mieko Tadokoro’s efforts are a world removed from my own, hit-and-miss attempts (mine were predominantly “miss”), and she has an exhibition at the Pola Museum Annex to prove it. The exhibition comprises some 40 photographs of miniature replicas of houses and rooms modelled by Hinoki Craftsman Hiroshi Miura.

Venue: Pola Bldg., 1-7-7 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0061. (free entry).
When?: Until May 29, 2007.

That reminds me, I must dig out some of those early pin-hole camera photos. I wonder where they might be languishing. If I find them, I’ll post them for your amusement.
