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.

Photo arts 3 photo book proposal:

Candidly queer: portraits of identity This book seeks to dive into the multifaceted lives of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Putting a spotlight on the rich diversity inherent within the 2SLGBTQ+ comm unity. At the focal point of this project is the idea of representation this is an invaluable facet of identity that resonates profoundly with members of the queer community. The focus of this collection of photos is not just to chronicle the spectrum of quee r identities but to serve as a place where folks can see themselves in the community, enabling members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to recognize, affirm and celebrate their own identities and na rratives. This photobook will be a collection of photos predominantly with analog black and white film photography occasionally supplemented with digital colour photographs. The colour photographs wil l be incorporated to bring to light the multitude of colours that the 2SLGBTQ+ community exhibits. One of the most important pieces of this

Response to persona 1966

This movie honestly made me quite angry just based on the fact that in true 1966 fashion they did not portray mental health very well. It was quite frustrating and I had many negative feelings throughout the movie. Sometimes I find that we romanticize the idea of a film due to its claim to being very artistic and people aren't critical enough about the content and the portrayal of vulnerable populations. Because the movie did a horrible job at depicting mental illness I decided to take it upon myself to do some of the work in depicting mental illness in a way that was more realistic. I decided to write my own disclaimer for the project: "Persona" (1966) contains representations rooted in misogyny and misinformation, which may now be seen as outdated or insensitive. Be aware of: 1. Mental Health : Depictions may not reflect current understanding or compassion. 2. Hysterical Woman Trope : An oversimplified dramatization of women's emotions. 3. Psychotic Lesbi

Trans rights: projection project

This projection project is in a box, the reason it is in a box is because like many other people in the 2SLGBTQ+ community trans people often have to hide who they are our of fear of discrimination or in the case that this project outlines; death. Trigger warning: death, suicide, hate crimes against the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The project was completed around November 20th which is transgender day of remembrance. On November 20th every year we remember the lives of trans people who were lost in the past year. Still in 2023 there were over 300 individuals lost world wide and around 7 in Canada due to hate crimes or suicide. The box that I have created has the words "trans rights" being projected onto articles from the anti sexual orientation and gender identity protests going on across Canada. These hateful protests send messages to trans and gender diverse individuals that they are not welcome to be who they are in spaces that are meant to be safe for them such as schools. Thi
