We’re breaking free of standard digital photography and smart phone pics with this unique display and exhibit. Pinhole photography captures images through a tiny hole in a box – in this case cameras Dvoracek has designed and built from product packaging. Known as camera obscura, the method creates beautifully distinctive photographs.

April 1-30, visit a display of Dvoracek’s pinhole cameras on the library’s second floor and see the companion photography exhibit, which focuses on libraries, in the first floor Reading Room.

During Gallery Walk on April 5, meet Dvoracek and view an expanded exhibit, The Unseen Library, which features behind-the-scenes photos of Oshkosh Public Library. 

Dvoracek has been practicing pinhole photography since 1982 and has published his blog, Pinholica, since 2015.
