Pinhole Fun

 

 

High school project taken using a homemade pinhole camera (a box) with the negative image made onto photographic paper which is processed as a negative in the dark room. I scanned the image and created a positive. In class, she will eventually be placing the negative image into an enlarger to create the positive.

My plans are to buy a red light, a couple of trays and a couple of black, light safe bags along with the paper and chemicals to develop the negative at home. From there, scan into the computer and finish the processing. I'd love to learn to develop my own film and with M's help, I think it's possible. It's just in the planning stages and who knows if it's something I'll ever do.

Espresso

"I restore myself when I'm alone."– Marilyn Monroe

And that alone time most often occurs with a delicious, home brewed espresso beverage. Hope you all enjoy a beautiful weekend, alone or with friends and family.

Cooling off

The short walk to the waterfall found lots of people playing in the water. I cropped to just show these two (actually, I only wanted the girl in the hat but the boy walked into the frame). When the sun is shining and temperatures are in the 80's, people come out of their winter cocoons and play. Another pinhole photo as part of Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day.

Des Plaines River

Today is/was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day and I spent it out at a not so local spot. Waterfall Glen and surrounding area. You couldn't ask for a prettier day with a hint of the summer to come. Yes, it was hot and people were enjoying the coolness of the river.

My thumb has it's moments of discomfort, mostly in the morning and when I bump it, but it is healing. The Wonderdog is slowly recovering from a foot wound of her own that had her limping and resulted in a trip to the vet for medication and injections. Fingers crossed that the treatment does the trick.

Hope your Sunday was beautiful.
