Square Peg Pinhole

It’s Where You Step Back and Take Stock on Flickr.

Normally I’d talk about the beauty of failure here, but not this time.

I’ve decided to take some time away to take stock, try new things, and really figure out what I’m trying to do with photography.

I’ve decided to start a 365 project (I swear, swear, swear I won’t shoot a single image looking down at my feet) of pinholes shot on Impossible Project (and maybe a some Fuji) instant film. In order to keep things interesting for me, I plan to create the images using different cameras built to shoot Impossible film.

This image, taken on the top floor of my work’s garage at sunset, was shot using an ammo can on a tilted film plane. The exposure was about 5 seconds on PX 70 Color Shade PUSH.

It was my birthday. I’m 42. Sometimes I realize I’m getting old although I still feel very much 18. It scares the hell out of me that half my life, perhaps more, is gone. Most of the time, though, I’m happy with who I am, where I am, and what I am. I do love this life even if it moves too fast.

This is the second iteration of my Impossible Project pinhole camera
(v1 here: www.flickr.com/photos/pollard71/6914627612). The pinhole size was too large in the first version. Scanned on a photocopier and saved as a PDF. I will replace with a higher quality image when I have a chance.
Film: PX 680 Color Shade old generation film
Time: ~20 seconds
Camera:
Focal Length 40mm
Pinhole Diameter .3mm
Fstop f150
Angle of View 57 degrees
Camera body is a rectangle tin. The pinhole was made using a needle on a square piece of aluminum cut from a Monster drink can.

My first Impossible Project pinhole: two glass paperweights, a shell, a lamp base, a pinhole picture on the wall in the background.

Film: PX 680 Color Shade old generation film
Time: 25 seconds
Camera: Focal length ~40mm; rectangle tin from toffee given to us for xmas; pinhole made using a needle on a square cut from a Monster drink can. I need to remake the pinhole…tad smaller (next needle size down).
