Using 3D printing, our hero designs an interesting wide-angle, large format pinhole camera that anyone can download and print. Also, much violence and car chases in this one.

I am delighted to have been invited to participate in a project called “Slowing the Selfie”, an exploration of the modern narcissistic selfie trend, but using pinhole photography and film.  Described thus: “Using pinhole cameras and film, a group of regional photographers explores the juxtaposition of the modern day “selfie” and one of the oldest forms…

I have a lovely little Instax Mini camera by Fuji. It’s fun, it’s compact, and it’s fairly inexpensive to shoot.  Consider this a small break from the deluge of photos that are coming in the next couple of months.   All photos scanned (poorly) by me.

I tend to shoot more than one camera at a time, particularly while travelling. Often I come home with a partially-shot roll of film in the camera. I make an effort to finish the roll as soon as possible, but I usually get strangely disconnected subject matter on the roll. The first four photos here are…

Without delving too deeply into some murky family history and international intrigue, suffice it to say that I visited some distant relations in the New Orleans area last November. Kind, warm people, living in an area I had never visited. Of course I brought some pinhole cameras with me. Film:  FUJIFILM Neopan Acros 100 Camera:…

All stereo pairs are crossed unless otherwise noted. I have struggled with how to teach people to “free view” stereo photo pairs, but THIS might help. Expressobuzz got me thinking about stereo photographs last summer when he showed me a slide viewer and some medium format stereo slides he shot. I emerged from the Schlaboratory…

It’s a long story, but my wife was doing some research on Ancestry.com. She discovered that her half-brother, Salim, has relatives in the Yucatan and in Lousiana. It is an amazing thing that she found his living relatives and connected with them. We traveled to New Orleans  and Baton Rouge to meet some of them.…

Film:Kodak Ektar 100 negative film Camera: terraPin 3D printed 6X6  pinhole camera f/135 These photos were made in and around Seattle, and during a SCOPES meetup to the UW campus.  There is a persistent shadow, upper left corner of the frames; something is obscuring that corner – not sure what.     These rolls were processed and scanned by Moon Photo in Seattle; all images…

I have a bias toward medium format (120) film. The magic of photographic chemistry, in medium format, provides a resolution and sensitivity that digital cameras can only approach for a king’s ransom.  A 6X6 image has the potential for 400 megapixel-equivalent images (citation).  This resolution combined with the low cost of excellent MF gear make a…
