I took pictures of fruits and vegetables
I had found at the "Marché" in Paris, with a pinhole,
tiny aperture instead of a lens, from which the light is led into the camera.
We know some Still Life pictures painted
in 17th century by the help of Camera Obscura, an aiding tool for sketches.
The Camera Obscura, the forerunner of the contemporary camera, was then
already provided with a lens and the paintings made use of the Camera Obscura,
though drawn by a brush, have some photographic taste.
Thus I tried to take pinhole pictures of
still lives with such interests as "What it will look like if the
light is represented slowly by a pure pinhole". I used a 8 x 10 inch
negative film and contact-printed on the photographic papers.
