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 →

Posted on September 4, 2014 by GLSmyth

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

The Recruiter

Posted on July 31, 2008 by GLSmyth

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 … Continue reading →

Katie Sitting

Posted on July 24, 2008 by GLSmyth

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 →

Three Self Portraits

Posted on July 10, 2008 by GLSmyth

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 … 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 →
