I maintain a couple of websites devoted to pinhole photography. The most visited is the Pinhole Visions website. This site is devoted to news and events about the art of pinhole photography - the artists who practice it and their work.
Another popular site is the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day website, or “pinhole day” for short. This site has information on the annual international pinhole day, where people all over the world take pinhole photos and submit one to the website. Pinhole Day has been around since 2001. We have nearly 2,000 submissions each year, from nearly 50 countries!
I also have a portfolio of my own work and information on my gallery and museum shows at GreggKemp.com
I plan to post informal information here about my thoughts and activities regarding pinhole photography.

I’ve been capturing the arc of the moon in pinhole photos sporadically for a few years, but haven’t been very satisfied with the results. Moving to Roanoke Island has rekindled that interest. Watching the full moon rise over the Atlantic ocean or even Roanoke Sound has been exciting and inspiring for me. At first I would notice the full moon, load a camera, and take a photo overnight. Then maybe the next night, plan a little in advance. But lately I’ve become a little more systematic about it, and a little more diligent. (more…)

Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. It is sometimes also referred to as the Frosty Moon. (more…)

An 80% chance of rain tonight and its overcast right now. So, no need to even try a moon photo this evening. Tomorrow looks like a better time, as the moon rises later - closer to sunset. I will be able to set up the camera at the ocean before the moon rises, let it go all night, then close it around sun rise the next day. I want to get the moon rise and sun rise in the same photo.
