A bar somewhere in Rosslaire, Ireland. I can't remember which one, on account of all the Murphys beer that I consumed!
Note the ghostly effects of people who came and went during the long exposure. At the time I thought it was my
vision that was blurred.

Findon Parish Church.
Note that everything, from the immediate foreground to far distance, is in focus.
This is because in pinhole photography the focal depth is effectively infinite.

About the artist:
Born in 1943 in the Netherlands, painter and visual artist Wim Labeij explores
art and the surrounding world in his own peculiar way. Starting an independent
life early as a runaway, he later studied visual art and industrial design in
Eindhoven and Maastricht. Having also been employed as a lithographer,
medical artist and photographer, he has worked in a variety of other
professions including travelling the world as a seaman. After spending
20 years living abroad in countries such as Morocco,
Ireland and Iceland, he now lives in the Netherlands where he leads a quiet life,
continually working on his art. As well as doing painting,
photography and graphic design on a PC, he breeds orchids
and does bryological illustration (exploring the microscopic worlds of mosses,
hornworts and liverworts) which is something that he has done for the past 30 years,
in spite of his restless nature. Perhaps best known for his excellent
technique and his talent for colouring, in his painting oeuvre, Wim Labeij
has also used pinhole photography since he first became fascinated by its
atmospheric depth several years ago. Consciously interacting with his
knowledge of art history and Dutch heritage, most of his pinhole photographs
are still lifes. He is currently working on a series of studies that
explore the small worlds around him, giving a glimse of his inner vision.
