Pinhole Camera/ Coffee Camera


To me, the strongest aspect of the work is the strong display of black, gray, and white. I believe that there is a balanced amount of the three, and create an interesting image. The only thing I would like to improve on are the faded edges. There is a little too much white, and i wish there could have been equal amounts on each side.

There wasn't much that was easy about this project. It was an annoying challenge that we somehow were able to finish. The last day Christina and i did this, it somehow all came together. The most challenging thing was trying to use the coffee camera. Not knowing whether a camera was completely sealed from the light was the most annoying part of the process. It was the cause of a lot of stress and lost time.

I believe i displayed the objective of displaying how light effects the photo paper by exposing the paper to the light for 30 second, and creating an actual negative image. I exposed the paper to light by  lifting the tape on the coffee camera, and exposing the hole. This let the light into the camera, and created an image. I don't know what i would do differently if i did this project again. I'm very happy with how it turned out. The only thing i can think of is that i wish my final image kept the really dark quality of the practice strip. The practice strip just has this cool vibe to it.

  1. Your hard work and patience paid off. You did an excellent job trouble shooting the coffee canmera for light leaks and aiming it right on Christina. Now, you need to make a positive image of this print.
