Today was World Wide Pinhole Day! Rayko Photo Center had a reception for their pinhole photography artists. A group of friends came to check out the work. We also had fun playing with pinhole cameras & posing in the 1950's vintage photo booth. We also took a joy ride in Bus Obscura. After all the fun we went to 21st Amendment and enjoyed food and beer. We just couldn't figure out who ordered the glass of Kendall Jackson? A few of us were quite disappointed they were out of the Watermelon Wheat Beer! (but it is strange we got billed for a pint!) But all in all it was a fun filled day.

very vlad!

very price!

This evening I edited a movie from the Bus Obscura Road Trip. I added a David Bowie Soundtrack.

The Santa Cruz Boardwalk

Holga Photographs taken on April 21st
Fujuicolor ISO 160C ~ C-Prints

Here are a few more images from the "final series" for my PH 699 class. I printed last night up at the darkroom... I was all alone & it was a great printing session. What a treat to have the facility all to myself. I also included some test prints for fun. I am not sure if I will include these in the final "8".

Class Field Trip!
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Today our class went down to Santa Cruz. It was a
lot of fun... I have not been down there in about 5

years! I took some Holgas & some Supacam. The

salt water taffy was delish as well as the mustard

corn dog that was washed down with a 24oz Bud! I also took
a few photobooth portraits... I will use one of the images for
my international student I.D. card.

Here are a few little movies...

The Hurricane! (with Debbie & Amberlyn)

Hung Over Pirate!

Grandmother's Prophesies

Here are two images from Sunday's Woof shoot last weekend. Images taken with a Holga and printed on Foma paper. I used the hand-made negative carrier... and burned in the edges of the images.

WOOF!

My final project will be a series of black and white images of Little Red Riding Hood and the Woof! These images will be printed on Foma's chamois textured photographic paper... printed about 7X7 and matted in white.
