0.2 Point of View:
Pinhole Photographs of Asia
by Marion Wheeler and Amber Matthews

No lens. No viewfinder. Infinite focus.
0.2 refers to the 0.2mm (pin) hole in the handmade wooden camera through which the images of Asia were captured. Concentrating on the five fundamental elements of Chines acupuncture, Wheeler and Matthews created the 46-page, paperback with full-page, color pinhole images from Hong Hong, Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia.
