PINHOLE CAMERA

Well, I started my first semester at the University. It’s definitely different from community college. MUCH MUCH bigger as well as harder. I was expecting my classes to be more demanding than they were before, most of them are art classes so I think I'll manage. I'm also taking Psychoanalytical Dynamics of Women. QUITE interesting. We are talking about how girls are socially brought up to be more passive and boys are encouraged to be more active. Also, about the symptoms of A.D.H.D. (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) in little boys vs. little girls. The symptoms in boys are a lot more obvious than with girls. Little boys are usually very vocal when it comes to just about anything, so it is easy to determine when they aren’t able to pay attention. Little girls on the other hand are usually more timid and the symptoms they encounter are more zoning out rather than energetically losing focus. So more boys than girls are diagnosed with A.D.H.D.
If you are a female artist then you probably know where I am going with this. We can hardly concentrate on three things at once let alone one. Ha.
But anyways, getting back on track to the whole reason why I decided to update…..
I’m going to post every single one of my Black and White Photography I assignments to give people ideas and inspiration to keep life interesting. My first assignment of the semester was to make a pinhole camera and make two positive images, two negative images, and two test strips. Kodak has a pretty good “How to make a pinhole camera” page:

And here's is my pinhole camera image


So if you ever have access to a darkroom then this would be a fun experiment to try out!
HAVE FUN!
