Sometimes artistic photos can be created from everyday objects, like peepholes!
Peepholes are not just for doors. You cannot deny it. Peepholes are fun—the kind of mindless amusement that comes from playing with simple toys like a Slinky or silly putty.
When I found an old peephole sitting in my junk drawer, I instinctively picked it up and began to play. I loved how the peephole distorted the world around me. I realized I had to try taking pictures through my newly rediscovered do-it-yourself fisheye lens.
This was the beginning of my “through the peephole” photography. This first peephole I used had a small viewing area and made it difficult to get a good focused shot. After a quick trip to a local hardware store, I found a peephole with a one inch viewing area. It was perfect for getting the focused shots with that fisheye look that I was going for.
