pinhole photographs

i finally got my film developed from the altoids pinhole camera i made a while back.

homage to robert longo.

quick video i made.

a great blog idea.

here's a blog about personal collections i'll be posting on for the next week.
created by s. arden hill, it's guest-blogged by new artist every week.

each day that artist posts a photograph of four objects, grouped together in one way or another.
the objects and how they are grouped gives an interesting look into how people think and why people collect things.
cruise through the past entries as well.
some great stuff.

made this extraordinary likeness of myself at artcity the other day.

altoids tin pinhole camera.

sprayed the inside of the tin with black paint.
cut a slit on either end for the film to thread through.
drilled a 1/8" hole in the center of the lid.
poked a tiny hole with the smallest needle i could find in a piece of aluminum can.
taped the can piece with the pinhole over the 1/8" hole.
with black duct tape i taped the jagged slits to fit the 35mm film closely.
fastened a nearly empty 35mm roll to one side.
the film you see is the 4 inches i left on the roll, this is used to attach the the end of the fresh roll.
i attached a winder (taken from the disposable camera seen) to the empty roll.
when the film is attached to the 4 inch end and wound, the film is pulled through the camera and into the empty roll keeping everything light tight.
new roll (left) taped to empty roll.
finished camera with sliding shutter (top) and tripod mount taken from an old camera (bottom, underneath).
all edges and openings taped with black tape to keep the light out.

i guess i'll let ya know how the photos turn out!

made this with these instructions.
