A couple weeks ago I spent an hour or so on the Oral Roberts University campus. I had my Holga 135PC pinhole camera with me. Most of the buildings on the campus were designed by one man, Frank Wallace are in a style now known as “Googie” but back then in the early 1960’s was known as “Space Age.” The buildings are ORU use lots of bronzed reflective glass.

For a long time the architecture looked outdated and run down but the revival of all things retro and 1960’s it seems that the buildings are coming back in style. It helps that they now have money for maintenance and upkeep.

You are having way too much fun with that pin hole camera. I don’t have any idea how you get lens flare without a lens, but the results are wonderful.
Lens flare without a lens? Good question! However I’m surprised your pinhole camera does so well.
I have absolutely no idea what a pinhole camera is or that you can get lens flare. I like those buildings – they’re different.
These are so amazing photos from a pinhole camera!
Interesting architecture and very Flash Gordon. His name just popped into my head. Beautiful tree shot and I loved the effect from your pin hole camera.
These are great! I have a friend who is a professional photographer who has bugged me to get myself a Holga – says the pictures you get with it are like nothing else.
