A stop along the drive from Nashville to Pioneer, Tennessee over the weekend. I took several photos of this field of grain (J says it was probably winter rye, which farmers grow to add nutrients to the soil…it will likely be plowed into the soil in a few weeks). I’ve never used Portra 100T before. I got 20 expired rolls of it recently…guess I’ll be using it over the next couple of months, so expect to see plenty more.

This is one of the few images I was able to salvage from two rolls I managed to ruin while developing. I go back and forth on this idea of whether pinhole images should have a deep, lo-fi feel. Sometimes I think it works well if the images look like they’ve been run through a meat grinder…other times, I think it looks lazy and justifies the “I thought all pinholes look like blurry hot messes” comments I sometimes get from people who haven’t seen high quality pinhole results. You can see my struggle with this concept here (Garbage Out Isn’t Always Garbage)…with this photo specifically … after I’d scanned the neg using a photocopier.
Bah, I’m still struggling to figure out what I’m trying to do with all of this. Am i an artist or am I an amateur who happens to shoot pinholes instead of dslr? I look around to some local peers, happy that they’re succeeding, but also wondering what I need to do to be more sucessful (and honestly, trying to figure out what the hell I even mean by “sucessful”). But I think I’m getting through it. i have a project idea to combine something I wrote with some pinhole work.
