Pinhole: Clock, photo by Matt Blackcustard.

Where does one cross the line from photography to fine art? Somewhere around 1:15, I’m guessing. I love the details on this photo: Paintcan pinhole camera, 4×5″ Fomapan 100, 5 elephant exposure, contact print onto expired Kodak Polycontrast Rapid II, developed in Dektol applied with a paintbrush. 5 Elephant exposure. Nice to see that the rigors of scientific photography are not being overlooked!

While we’re on the subject of pinhole photography & fun, Matt writes:

I ran a pinhole workshop for teens at the Ann Arbor District Library back in August. They made pinhole cameras from paint cans and cookie tins and then ran around outside taking pictures of each other for a couple of hours. It was lots of fun. Well now it’s time for the show! (click for event info)A selection of the work they made that afternoon (plus some photos of the workshop in action) is now on display at the AADL Malletts Creek branch, running until October 30th. There’s a reception Friday 22nd (that would be TONIGHT) from 5 – 6:30pm.
