5 Pointz 2, 2013

The 5 Pointz Aerosol Arts Center, the graffiti mecca in Long Island City, Queens, was recently painted white and is scheduled to be demolished soon.  Sad news.  I'm glad I had a chance to take a few pinhole photos there last August.

All photos were shot using a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera on Kodak Ektar 100 film.

NYC Pinhole Portrait 1

NYC Pinhole Portraits 1- Occupy Wall Street, 2013 

Often, when I'm out on the street with my taking photos with my pinhole camera, people stop to ask what I'm doing, or to ask questions about my camera.  Whenever that happens, I try to ask the curious person if they'll pose for a pinhole portrait.  Thus, I present part one in an ongoing series of pinhole portraits.

This man was working the Occupy Wall Street booth in Union Square.  He asked about the camera, posed for a photo and sold me a t-shirt.

Hello Darkroom, My Old Friend

I've been taking another hiatus from the blog this August, mostly due to a large geographical distance between myself and my scanner.  However, I have been able to rent darkroom time this summer, something that is not available where I currently live.  Hooray for color darkroom rentals!  I hope to have scans posted by some time in September, and I might even have prints available for sale.

Thanks for visiting.  Please post comments in the usual spot.
