Spotlight: Polaroids and Pinholes

{It has been some time since I've posted photography art. This technique is called photogram which is a combination of polaroids, pinhole and traditional dark room techniques. I just love it. Wouldn't a number of these prints featured in one area in your home make a dramatic statement?}
