Lady Portlandia held us to her bosom and we adverturers slaked out thirsts at her breweries. We ate of her bounty. We basked in her warmth and glow. And we pinholed the shit out of everything. What started on social media as a pinhole discussion has spawned two international gatherings and a vibrant community of support…
Film: Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 B&W Camera: terraPin Bijou 6X4.5 3D printed pinhole F/135 Owing to the sins of sloth and procrastination, I found myself at the Center for Wooden Boats, the sole attendee to a meetup I had organized with late notice. Hank said he’d like to go there and so I rebooted the CWB meetup…
Film: Kodak 100 T-Max Camera: Voigtlander Bessa R3A with Skopar 35/2.5 This camera makes me very happy. I love shooting with it, I love its simplicity and I really like what I get from it. The Skopar 35mm lens is very fun to shoot also – all in all, a solid combination for shooting 135. I carried the…
Film: Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 Camera: The PINH5AD 4×5 3D printed pinhole f/225 with 6X8 Graflex 120 film Press Back I have learned a few things since I built this camera, including how to make a better pinhole. I made a new 0.40mm pinhole for this LF camera before I took it for a field trip. As much as…
I knew a guy when I was in college who had a bona fide tagline: “The universe is abundant… (man)” The last bit was optional and the the first bit was typically offered up after an herbal inhalation, a heart-felt discussion of the predictably unfair nature of the world, and an affirmation/invocation of Karmic balance. We’ll call our…
Film: Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 Camera: terraPin Bijou 6X4.5 3D printed pinhole f/135 The 6X6 square format is nice and all, and I love the large luscious slides (or negatives) it produces, but I also hunger for the compositional challenges of a rectangular format. I am very keen on my new 6X4.5 version of the terraPin, which I…
Film: Fujifilm Velvia 50 Camera: terraPin 6X9 3D printed pinhole f/174 Rather than spoon-feed you, gentle reader, with my self-important blah-blah-blah, I thought I’d post some pics with a perfunctory captioning, and respond to any questions that may arise. Easier in the short term, perhaps a bit more work on the back end. Film: Fujifilm Velvia 50 Camera: terraPin 6X6…
Film: Fujifilm Velvia 50 Camera: terraPin 6X9 3D printed pinhole f/174 I took acting in high school. I greatly enjoyed the class. It was a refreshing daily exercise in creativity in an otherwise frenzied senior year. Dr. Beath (Doctor!) was very supportive of our self-conscious efforts to emote on stage in front of potentially-hostile peers. I was repeatedly…
Film: Kodak Tri-X 400 Camera: Voigtländer Bessa R3A with Skopar 35mm lens f/2.5 I shoot a lot of 120 film pinhole. The 120 is a nice match for the deliberate nature of contemplative pinhole; eight or twelve exposures might take an afternoon or a weekend. 135 – 35mm film – however, typically comes in 36 exposure rolls that turn into daunting…
My favorite pinhole photography joke is still a work in progress, but it has something to do with the World Series and a photo of an empty baseball diamond. The idea of “sports pinhole photography” is ridiculous, but when I built a servo-actuated shutter for my pinhole cameras, the next step had to be putting the camera in…
Film: Velvia 50 – 120 film Camera: P6*6W, 35mm focal length, f/135 I have a bad habit. As soon as I finish shooting a roll of film, I am prone to loading a fresh roll in the camera, right there, right then. Very often, I might shoot a couple shots and then the camera is set aside…

Little Crater Lake, Zero Image 4×5 and Ektar film 5 seconds. ? Oregon is full of haunted places and I am drawn to all of them. I love the thrill of perhaps seeing a ghost on one of my pinhole adventures. Last summer we camped at Little Crater Lake up on Mt…
