Thomas Harding built his own pinhole cameras and became nationally known for his rustic photographs. He opened a studio in his hometown in 1947 and was a commercial photographer until he retired in 1982. After retirement, Harding developed his pinhole technique, making his cameras from beer cans, traffic cones, or other materials. Harding published two books of his works: "One-Room Schoolhouses of Arkansas as Seen Through a Pinhole," and "An Outhouse by Any Other Name."
