 the first shot from a new pinhole camera.

A Reality So Subtle from James over in France.

It shoots 6 x 6, has a filter ring and is deeper than the uber wide cameras he makes.

It's going on the road to Arizona with me soon.

This is a view of my kitchen sink, which serves as my darkroom. Ta!

 

Jornada Del Muerto

 Looking south out over the Jornada Del Muerto.

The journey of the death, or dead man.

I've driven this road a few times now and each visit reveals another secret. 

Reality So Subtle pinhole, with a little light leak cause by moi by not putting the top on correctly. I like it. 

It's like looking at a daytime aurora.

 Ocassionally I accidentally mess up the winding with a pinhole camera and it reveals some karmic photo when i develop the roll. 

This one is like viewing a real life transition when you are moving between places yet are in both places simultaneously.

If you think about places you have been and places you are going, it's sort of like that...a daydream of everything all at once. Ethereal being.

I'm not going to go on and on about it, not today at least. I need to pack for another road trip to southern New Mexico.

Pinhole adventures await.

Photo above was made with the Reality So subtle 6 x 6 camera. Some film and some coffee developer.

Swish swish.

The Leggy Goose

 

You all know I'm terrible about updating this place....

I have good intentions, but good intentions are useless around me.

This is from World Pinhole Day, which was April 28.

made with a Reality So Subtle 6 x 9 F pinhole camera .

The F means filter, which was yellow in this case.

kentmere 400 film, for maybe 20 seconds.

I don't meter, I just pretend to be the emulsion and go for it.

 

The Edge of the World

 

Just in case you've wondered about where the edge of the World is...

 

 

Holga wide pinhole

 Another day, another pinhole photo...

Although, I made this one yesterday just because I found a small film-holder that was loaded with some ancient Efke that I needed to know if it still worked or was fogged...

And guess what, it works...mostly.

The cool thing about digging through old boxes of stuff is finding some left behinds.  

I sometimes think about just sticking to one format and one camera and one film emulsion, but it NEVER works that way. I'm too fickle and love too many cameras.

Finding this particular film holder with old EFKE in it has prompted me to go on another search for a prized little box I have that hasn't been used in a few years.  Stay tuned for that...plus I want to build another camera after seeing one a friend had built for this same small format size....

Have a great Monday!
