First pinhole camera photos September 29th 2021



 First day of pinhole camera trials was a success. I wasn't sure if my camera would work I was worried I would need tin foil but it worked on the first try which was incredible. I am really happy with how all of them turned out, I think they are really cool. It was my first time watching film develop which was really neat. The title of my project is imperfections stay tuned to see why! 

Photo 1, 2 seconds: My very first pinhole photo ever (amazing!!) Outside on the 6th floor patio. I was so stoked that it worked! It was so amazing watching the developer for the first time. 
Photo 2, 5 seconds: In a similar spot to photo 1. Do you feel like you are shooting in a space ship, because that's the vibe I get. 
Photo 3, 6 seconds: Outside the same balcony over the side tho, I love the way the circle of the pinhole translates to the photo. I also love the happy little trees. 
Photo 4, 6 seconds: Outside on the 7th floor patio towards lamp post and bushes (obviously) 
Photo 5, 9 seconds: Still increasing length of time or trying to, filling up more of the piece of paper by waiting longer.  
Photo 6, 15 seconds: I really like what the trees look like, almost blood vessels or something? nature is amazing! 
Photo 7, 12 seconds: First self portrait! I love the way my shirt looks and the way my arms look. 
Photo 8, 18 seconds: This one was taken with a mask on and hair down. It almost looks like I'm wearing a gas mask. 
Photo 9, 18 seconds: Picture of the coulees and the university to the left, it kind of looks like you just landed on another planet 
Photo 10, 15 seconds  

The self portraits gave me the idea to lay down on the ground and take a picture that way and also to take more pictures from the sky down so I will do that the next time I take pictures.

Assignment 1 diptych

 These are two film photos that I took then got developed at a local store. I really like to have prints of all of my photos because I like to have physical copies. The photo on the left is taken from the streets in Thailand in 2019 and the photo on the right is taken from the top of mount Hoffman in Kananaskis in the summer of 2021. They are on opposite ends of the earth and represent opposite vibes. One is in the city and one is in the backcountry. They are yes and no because they are opposing.

Test strips and reflection

 So I realized that I have a ton of test strips and I need to figure out what to do with them all. I need to figure out if I want to do another art project with them or something. Here is a picture of them all:  I also just wanted to do a but of reflection from the semester. I have really enjoyed working with black and white film this semester, there are lots of things that I really liked about this class. One of the things that was challenging is that the supplies is so expensive but I don't think there is a way around that. I did a lot of my own printing for friends and family for Christmas gifts and I am really excited to see what everyone thinks.  One of the things I found interesting was the idea of fixing the pinhole photos or the 35mm photos in photo shop to take out some of the dust or other things that may have gotten on the film when really when you are thinking about film and committing to taking film photos I feel like you are committing to those blemishes and...

Monologue and final project #3

In this project I embrace the messiness that is every day life. The monologue that we had to read for this project talked about the complexity and fluidity of identity. That is why I chose my partner who is non binary and uses they them pronouns as the subject for this piece. It incorporates the idea that there is binary thinking in the world. There is binary thinking but that does not mean we should be thinking as everyone else does. The monologue challenges the notion of fixed categories, this piece embraces the spectrum between chaos. Hugo also speaks to the past, present and future. In these pictures you can depict what happened in the past to make the space the way that it is you can anticipate what is going to happen in the future either a messier room or cleaning of the room and you see what is going on at the moment with the subject doing different activities in the space.  I asked my partner for an interpretation of the monologue because they were the subject and I wanted ...
