The pinhole camera is a manual, lensless, handmade camera. It literally takes long-exposure, out-of-focus photos through a pinhole that projects an inverted image into a darkened box.
Why use it? It's got a weak perspective. You have to know how to develop film. You can also only take one photo before you have to unload the camera in the dark and reload a fresh piece of film. It isn't really accurate at all.
It doesn't matter... Use it.
I'll tell you why... The whole idea of the Pinhole Camera isn't accuracy. It isn't the perspective. It's the feeling - The feeling of capturing an image with something that was handmade, by you.
It's the nostalgia...
...and sometimes using something that isn't all that perfect is what makes it perfect.
