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.

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.  ...

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 ...
