Pinhole Shutter
Unveiling a new pinhole camera system designed by my brother, Henry Falco. Henry, always the perfectionist, was never happy with the exterior shutter design we had developed for these homemade pinhole cameras. He felt the cameras could be more sleek and self contained. The result is this new internal shutter system. A simple lever design, the camera now has a shutter button on the face of the camera and internal working parts which simply opens and closes the pinhole. Instead of sliding the shutter to expose the film I will now be “clicking” a shutter button.
This is a four inch camera is equivalent to a 28mm wide angle on a 35mm SLR camera.

Hi Mike!
Your work is absolutely stunning. The quality of each image is so touching, personable, and inspiring to photographers who can appreciate the rawness of pinhole photography. I’m going down to Gettysburg this month to be a time period civilian while photographing the anniversary. I’m using a Zero Image 4×5 pinhole camera, using color film, and also digital photography (I’ve built a wooden box to hide modern technology). I’d like to get in touch with you and talk about your experience. Email me or join me on Facebook, Annie Holt (NH). Take a peak at my site http://WWW.annieholtphotography.com. Gettysburg will be a part two of my junior year project, Historical American Figures,1690-1865.
I look forward in hearing back from you and hoping to talk about the 150th and photography!
Best,
Annie

sincerely,
Michael Falco
