Little Red Ice Cream Shop

Posted on January 15, 2016 by GLSmyth

Half a lifetime ago I lived in Jefferson, Maryland for a short period of time.  It was a very small town with a single grocery store that had little to offer.  On a recent trip to photograph in Brunswick I … Continue reading →

D’Vino

Posted on November 14, 2014 by GLSmyth

While on my Baseball vacation this past summer I occasionally stopped when something of interest caught my attention and D’Vino in Niles, Ohio was such a place. It had such a stately structure with an interesting shape and something telling … Continue reading →

Akron RubberDucks

Posted on November 3, 2014 by GLSmyth

It seems that to be a successful Minor League Baseball team one of the more important elements is the naming of the team itself. Locally, I have found these to be a bit wanting. The Frederick Keys name is based … Continue reading →

Mahoning Valley Scrappers

Posted on September 4, 2014 by GLSmyth

A few weeks ago I was on my Baseball week, where I try to see as many minor league games as possible, photograph a panoramic during the game, and post it to my website. This time I brought one of … Continue reading →

Point of Rocks Train Station

Posted on August 19, 2014 by GLSmyth

One last pinhole from Point of Rocks. I have offered two other images from the train station location, but none of the station itself. It is rather picturesque and I have a feeling that pretty much anyone who has been … Continue reading →

Point of Rocks Waiting Area

Posted on August 13, 2014 by GLSmyth

I thought that I would post one more image taken from my 35mm pinhole camera. Again, this is the Point of Rocks train station, and this part is the waiting area. I hadn’t thought of it at the time but … Continue reading →

Point Of Rocks Rail Car

Posted on August 7, 2014 by GLSmyth

A while back I had the opportunity to trade one of my Bromoil prints for a pinhole camera that uses 35mm film.  I enjoy trading my prints for other’s prints (one of the few ways I can afford them), but … Continue reading →

A Space In Time

Posted on July 16, 2014 by GLSmyth

One of the things I like about pinhole photography is that it does naturally what lens photography does not. One of those is infinite depth of field – there is no single plane of focus as is the case with … Continue reading →

Reading in Pittsburgh

Posted on July 9, 2014 by GLSmyth

I have done some pinhole street photography in the past, and although this may seem to be contradictory terms it simply means that if one wants to minimize the blur, the subject needs to be relatively static.  While in Pittsburgh … Continue reading →

Trees and Lake

Posted on June 17, 2014 by GLSmyth

As I wandered around Lake Kittamaqundi there were numerous places  to stop and contemplate, and this was one.  I set up the 8×10″ pinhole camera and composed for the lightly moving branches and shadows, opening up to reveal the lake.  Following … Continue reading →

Tree by Lake Kittamaqundi

Posted on June 11, 2014 by GLSmyth

The obviously great thing about spring is the weather and I love being outdoors. This means that extended exposure times are a bonus so getting the large pinhole camera into service is the obvious choice. Lake Kittamaqundi in Columbia is … Continue reading →

Ices Ferry Bridge

Posted on September 26, 2012 by GLSmyth

In 1979 I got a job managing a toy store in Frederick, Maryland and left West Virginia.  My parents built a house in the Cheat Lake area, and whenever I returned to visit them I went across the Ices Ferry … Continue reading →

Backyard Plants

Posted on July 21, 2011 by GLSmyth

Chris Peregoy’s excellent Pinhole Blender has been a device I have employed on numerous occasions to create interesting images. The even inventive one has started marketing what he refers to as a tube camera, which is simply a tube with … Continue reading →

Sun, Cape Henlopen

Posted on June 28, 2011 by GLSmyth

One some days the sun appears to be more overbearing than others, and this can be magnified by going to the beach. It had been a while since the last time I sat on a beach. That time I got … Continue reading →

Posted on December 29, 2010 by GLSmyth

Danger – long post ahead! I have been looking at my website during these cold days and reconsidering its contents. In doing so, I came across an article I wrote over 15 years ago (pre-digital), and realized how it applies … Continue reading →

Tobay Beach #1

Posted on September 27, 2009 by GLSmyth

As Hurricane Bill wandered up the east coast this past summer, I happened to be at Tobay Beach on Long Island, New York. I posted a composite shot of waves coming in at https://glsmyth.wordpress.com/2009/08/23/tobay-beach/, which appear tame unless one looks … Continue reading →

Roots

Posted on August 31, 2009 by GLSmyth

Trees will always be a fascination of mine. They are strong, vulnerable, and varied in so many ways. This particular image is a 4X5″ pinhole image taken along a stream that had worked away at the soil around this tree. … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

View From The Fence

Posted on July 1, 2008 by GLSmyth

Although words can be very powerful, they sometimes do fall short. This is the case when it comes to my feelings about Winter. To be diplomatic about the subject, it will suffice to be said that I appreciate it less … Continue reading →

Confusion on Pratt Street

Posted on June 9, 2008 by GLSmyth

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 … Continue reading →
