As I mentioned on some previous post, this is the year for experimentation. Because of that I took with pleasure the invitation presented by my friend Vicki Reed to me and Hal of assembling a plastic pinhole camera, and with it, to shoot some images in preparation for our upcoming show at the Cedarburg Museum of Art.
The camera is a "toy" with a cost below $10 (depending where you purchase it) and you can assemble it yourself in 5 minutes. So there I went around our house taking some silly pictures to see how it works. Here then I share some samples. Because I use solely the materials provided with the kit, the pinhole was made using the aluminum foil provided, and because is so thin, it is really hard to achieve a completely evenly circular pinhole, reason why the photos loose their focus, becoming a little blurry. Still, with a calculated fstop of 150, the exposures which ranged from 10 seconds to 3 minutes indoors came about right.
The camera kit will be for sale at the museum's gift shop and I believe we will have a photograph made by each one of us as a sample.
