“I’m always drawn to pinhole imagery. With it’s simplistic capture of light and shadow. The ability to record a span of time, turning a busy sidewalk or any action into a translucent wave of motion. It’s inherently illustrative and ethereal image quality. Like a minds eye glance where, not all the information is there yet, it is all there… all we need. Be it an altered 35mm film canister, altoids tin, a store bought production or highly over-engineered ABS plastic prototype (with rise and fall), every pinhole camera has it’s own voice. And I view in appreciation and wonderment of how image makers combine that voice with their own.”
CK → Michael’s home built pinhole cameras are a lot like a performance motorcycle… uniquely designed, precision engineered and built with a mindful eye for how it is to be used. His cameras are as beautiful as the photos he creates with them. Thanks Michael for sharing that vision with all of us.
