okay, and maybe a little social justice, cultural criticism and blind rants re: everything that pisses me off.

Today, I made a pinhole camera (using these instructions).
I’ll get to test it out tomorrow. And, since I live in Portland, I’ll need to be ready at the drop of a hat. You never know when you might get sufficient, or even desirable, light.
Goddamn you, Pacific Northwest! Why must shooting always be a crapshoot?!
Oh, yeah. Self? Remember that you loaded 100 iso NOT 400.
What kind of setup do you think they used for that first photo?

During the fledgling age of portrait photography, it was of the utmost importance for the subjects to stay still for a period of time. Obviously since this would be difficult for children, their mothers were brought in for the portrait.

This is not the concept I had in mind. I moved the glass panel in front of the fireplace so I could have more room to move about and the cat crawled up there. I had to fish her out and got soot, ashes, and footprints EVERYWHERE. I played with a few other ideas and came up with this. I can feel break coming to an abrupt end…I will soon be swallowed in a black, gaping hole of papers, midterms and responsibility. You like how poetic I’m getting with this?
I’m having a lot of fun experimenting with different editing techniques. :)
This DIY camera was made from a stack of books on photography. Heh.
It’s part of Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs’ photo book titled As Long As It Photographs It Must Be a Camera. More at American Photo at the link!

Digging the light in this and hopping it isn’t digitally altered…too much.
I appreciate the effort photographer’s put into their studio lighting. Good lighting takes skill.
