Pinhole Camera





In these images a pinhole camera was used. The camera works by placing a sheet of RC photo paper into the can (camera). The paper is then exposed by letting light through a pin sized hole in the can for a long period of time (usually 10 seconds-2 minutes depending on the light source). You then develope the paper in the dark room and it leaves you with a paper negative. The negative is then placed face down on another piece of photo paper and light is exposed letting you make a direct print.

The Proof Study Maneuver of Novgorod, Russia





This was a study done on sleep/dreams. Each night the subjects were asked to think about Novgorod, Russia before they went to sleep. If they didn't know what the place looked like they were asked to imagine whatever they thought it looked like. In the morning the subjects were questioned about what they dreamt...if they had managed to dream of this location. The study was photographed using a Holga camera on the bulb setting for the time the subjects were sleeping.
