Hi everybody! Today I got a new camera and I'm pretty excited about it! It can handle a wide array of light sensitive materials for picture taking and can it hold sizes up to 15"x22". It can produce images sharper than any lens...and it only cost $10!
Yes, I'm building another pinhole camera. Say what you want about pinhole photography but I, for one, am down. My tentative plan, as is common with pinhole cameras, is to make them out of everyday objects which can be found or bought. After turning the objects into cameras, I want to take said object where it would "naturally" function in our society and take a photograph with it. For example, I may take the suitcase to an airport or hotel. In other words, I will be reintroducing the object back into its natural environment. The act of transforming it into a camera then allows me to see what it sees.
One thing that interests me is how the camera can function...not only as an everyday object with specific purposes but also as a photographic instrument. With the ever rapid advancements in technology, camera equipment is getting lighter, faster and often times more complex and more expensive. But, all you really need is light and time...light and time. Any object you can make light tight and poke a hole in is a camera...that's pretty dope if you ask me.
Tomorrow I will begin building my suitcase camera and hope for positive results. I plan to share the outcome, good or bad, right here on this blog. So if your still reading and your still interested...I thank you and please stay tuned.
