A Year in Photos

Photography, fiction, and personal essays form my three primary creative outlets. For this blog's first 18 months, I used it primarily for photography. As I've returned to creative writing, I'll use this blog for fiction, too. Sometimes, when reality needs to be discussed more than truth, I write personal essays.

This blog will continue to showcase as many above-average photos as I can muster. Hopefully my written work will be as good or better than the visual. Whichever drew you here -- photographs or fiction, I hope you enjoy both.

Pinhole Camera Results

Here are the results from the pinhole cameras. The first shot I'll share is what the images looked like. So the paper recorded a negative image. To understand that, film records a negative image. When printed on paper, it makes a positive print. (Two negatives make a positive.) So each image came out as a negative but, with the wonderfulness of modern computer-based photo editing programs, I converted each image to a positive. Each image after the first will be a Photoshop-converted positive.















So, mixed results. Mostly, the poor results came from too-short an exposure time or camera shake. But, as a proof of concept experiment, it worked. Next step: Attemp high-quality results.
