Nowadays the ease with which images are made is impressive. These days we don’t happen to be a photographer; we all are photographers. An average owner of a mobile phone with a camera of acceptable quality becomes z collector of moments captured in images. Pictures are circulated as messages and it is an image rather than words that has become a communiqué. Contrary to this reality many passionate are trying to rediscover photography, looking for a key in old techniques and primitive forms of recording. Pinhole photography is once more gaining full rights in this great visual show.

We would like to invite all those who may be a little discouraged with this ease of duplicating the world have stopped for a moment allowing the slow seeping of reality through the pinhole of a CAMERA OBSCURA to take part in our competition. Maybe together we will be able to discover the mystery.
