In pictures: Pinhole journeys

1 of 8 If you happened to have passed through Norwich Railway Station earlier this month you may have been handed a small pinhole camera.

2 of 8 Ann Christie, a student at Norwich School of Art, gave 150 cameras to passengers with a request that they take a picture of their destination and send the camera back to her.

3 of 8 A month on and we can see some of the results. As Ann says "the pictures are unpredictable...the opposite of a digital camera where you get instant results and try to make the image as perfect as possible."

4 of 8 When the original picture is printed it appears as a negative, which is then contact printed again to make a positive.

5 of 8 "Pinhole cameras go right back to the basics of photography and have for me some of the same magic that the first photographers must have felt when they found ways of capturing an image forever," she adds.

6 of 8 "I like the idea that the cameras have made secret journeys with people, to their home or workplace."

7 of 8 "I think this is the furthest away one went, to the University Museum in Oxford."
