The other reason for the absence is that I finally made the jump and started building my own 8 x 10 large format pinhole camera ( a big jump from the 4 x 5 format) using Brian J. Krummel's book as a guide source for it, despite that when it came to design I am using my "love for the Bauhaus school" as source of inspiration.

If you are looking into do your own pinhole I recommend it highly as it explains a lot and very well many of the so confusing aspects of building your own camera since it is more than just a simple box as many try to put it.

Why I started making it? There are 3 reasons for it which I will leave the long answer for when I finish it but goes from the fact of making it (and making it my own) to the fact that I want to use it on a project that hopefully helps me to master a process in which I did not start with the right foot but it have had me fascinated for the last 2 years: the paper negative.

So far, regarding the construction it has been a GREAT learning experience, and more enjoyable since I have NOT cut or hammered my fingers (yet), which according to Dawn it is a real achievement :)

Will be back. Until then...
