Square Peg Pinhole

I shoot pinhole photography because it strips technology from the photographic process. There is no lens, there is no viewfinder, there is no certainty of capturing the intended image. Exposures usually take several seconds and sometimes minutes to shoot, so capturing a moment is next to impossible. Instead, I capture different perspectives of common scenes and objects, views observable to anyone willing to take a moment to look. Most people don't. I shoot from the ground or millimeters from the subject or with the camera nestled in a tight spot. Recent work has focused on painting abstract images using a pinhole lens. I shoot full frame, mostly, and limit digital postproduction to simple techniques found in traditional darkrooms. I like the uncertainty, the acceptance that every shot may be a failure. It's an iterative process of try, fail, try, fail, try...until, hopefully, I succeed.
