Happy Holidays

Just thought that I would wish everyone a Season Greetings. I am heading off to spend some time with family in TN and won't have access to the net. So from Piglet and Pooh. Happy Holidays!!!

Pinholed Pier

Part of the fun of photography is never knowing what you are going to get. I remember when I developed my first B&W print. Standing over the developer and watching the image come to life was truly amazing.

Since I make portraits for a living, I find that I don't have the luxury to be in awe of what comes out. I need to make sure that whatever I produce my clients will like, if not love. That's why I have turned to making pinhole images. This process of making an image dates back to the turn of the 19th century. There is no lens on the camera; there is no shutter just a simple piece of metal with a hole.

You never know what you are going to get and it is always a rush to run to the lab to find out if you made anything that is aesthetically pleasing. This summer with the thanks of a neighbor, I made a 4 x 5 camera. This image was made with that camera on Fuji Velvia film. This camera has brought back some of the child's play that I did in the darkroom so many years ago.
