This image, created by the Pinhole Blender, incorporates church, home, and business. I will allow the viewer to fill in the blanks, if there are any.
A while back I offered an image that represented Three Self Portraits. This time I decided to use the Pinhole Blender to offer a more straightforward self portrait. To the left is a brick wall, which is where I oftentimes find myself – figuring out ways to climb, go around, or break these walls down is part of the fun of life. On the left is a sign on a window that I just felt was amusing – Beans and Rice? Surrounding myself by these two elements encapsulates much of my life.
One of my girlfriend’s nephews recently joined the Air Force. To be as kind as possible, I will simply say that the individual who recruited him could have been a little more forthcoming with the information that he offered. This image, which was created with the Pinhole Blender, shows a recruiter, an offer of learning, and a blank street, which sums things up for that particular experience.
Another image from my Stone Knives And Bear Skins project. I decided to slightly split tone this particular image with a very dilute selenium solution. I pulled it as soon as the color began to change, as leaving it any longer in the toner would have started to bleach the image.
There are not many pictures of myself on the Internet … actually, there are not many pictures of myself at all, as I’d rather focus on other, more interesting topics. However, the Pinhole Blender gave me an opportunity to put together three images of myself in the same frame, which I think worked out nicely. The question then becomes whether or not a self portrait can be successful without including the full face. Actually, I think that that is a more interesting question than the inclusion itself, so I decided to leave it out.
This is another in my series of pinhole sieve images. This one is of a house that sits alongside a quiet stream, which meanders through the woods.
Some images are fun because they are confusing. Perhaps it is the lack or even abundance of information, but this particular image reminds me of an Escher painting, where all the parts are there, but they do not appear to fit properly.
Chris Peregoy’s Pinhole Blender allows for the blending of multiple pinhole images into a single frame. This particular image was made in a graveyard beside the city of Annapolis, MD, allowing gravestones and graveyard angels to blend into one another.
This is another in my series of pinhole sieve images. The intention of this series is to give the viewer an image that is to be used as the jumping off point for creating a story. In this particular case, the tree fell, but did it do so trying to escape the woods?
I am not a fisherman. It is not difficult to understand the attraction of fishing, but my personality would simply not allow me to enjoy the activity. I need to be continually engaged in what I am doing, and time spent waiting is not attractive to me (which is why developing film is not at the top of my enjoyable activities).
However, those who have different personalities can enjoy quiet time in contemplation, dividing their thoughts to the bobbing of the float, and using their knowledge and skill to successfully capture a fish. Indeed, I can understand the attraction of starting the day in this way, as we all have choices of how to start at the beginning.
