New Long Exposure Pinholes from Willapa Bay AiR

Fine Art PrintsBio

I have never taken long exposure pinholes all that seriously. I think they are serious photographs and I love the way they look but for once I am finding them to be not only fun but creative too. I made about ten multi hole pinhole cameras and about twenty altoid tin cameras. It rained so much of the month I was in the Willapa Bay area. I knew some of the pinholes were getting wet but I had not reckoned with the tide and the high mark the tide would come to on the Bay and make my pinhole cameras soaked. I made plenty though and I let go of my perfectionist streak and went with the errors and problems inherent in this type of photography. I give you some here. Two of these images are by Jeff McMahon the operations manager and Cyndy Haywood, the director of the Willapa Bay AiR. All of these images were exposed for an entire month. Enjoy the images and take the time to join the Pinhole Project (www.thepinholeproject.org) and get a camera exposing for yourself.
