Here’s a shot taken on a a very cool old boat called the Hummingbird outside of Watch Hill, RI. This was taken with the Zero Image 6×9 taken in square in black and white.
My favorite camera shop in the whole world, Blue Moon Camera and Machine have asked to include this in their customer show in December (in Portland, OR.) I got back 19 rolls of film all from Holgas & pinhole cameras that day so it was interesting knowing which one really stood out.
Isn’t it beautiful? She made me get out of bed at 6:30am this morning and take it for a walk. Having gotten one earlier this month I’ve average over a roll a day with it. A love it when a camera not only captures the world in an emotional way, and is built like a rock, but is also fun to hold, look at and use. It can take 6×4, 6×6, 6×7 or 6×9. I’ve been doing some color 6×9′s but mostly b&w squares. I can’t believe this is my first pinhole. I can’t remember how I first heard of it, but once I did I keep staring at them on their website. Finally during one of my trips to Blue Moon Camera and Machine I asked about them. I asked the right person. Autumn told me she got one recently and has been shooting with it everyday since. She said everybody in their shop uses one. There was no going back at that point; I knew I had to get one. I’ve been into night photography for a long time, and I love it for many reasons and one of them is what you can capture with a long exposure. The effect and the mood it has. It preserves not only one moment in time, but a period of time into one frame. Each teeny tiny moment is squished into one long moment. Pinholes bring that to the daytime. I’ll definitely be exploring more pinholes but I have a feeling I’ll never stop carrying this one around.
