My camera “lens” – the teeny-tiny hole
Today was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. What’s pinhole photography? Well, read more about it here and here to understand a little more.
Negative pinhole photography print on paper
I participated by attending a class presented by the non-profit Denver Darkroom downtown. We met up with Working for Artists and the Colorado Photographic Art Center… listened to a lecture and ended up shooting in and around the Zang Mansion, using the darkroom in the basement. Heard it was the biggest turnout to-date.

So, the day started off bright and sunny but by the time we really got to experimenting the sky grew overcast and eventually rainy. And cold. The type of pinhole camera I make ended up needing exposure times of 20 minutes long – so after lots of trial and error, with the turn of the weather, I was only able to get two so-so shots. This was one of them. The class is meeting again and I plan to experiment after work (in the sun!) some more… can’t wait to show you some great results.

Finished my HOWiezine pages tonight – I showed you the beginnings yesterday. Above is the front and the back, and I brought out the tiny pictures that accompany the page. Who doesn’t love tiny pictures?
I’m pretty excited to see everyone’s submissions once the books are mailed out, I’ll try and remember to post it.
***NOTE***
Don’t forget to get out and vote if you haven’t already. Oh, when you do, stop at Starbucks on the way back to pick up some free coffee and then swing by Ben and Jerry’s for some free pre-dinner dessert.

Can’t believe it’s November already. Who else enjoyed that extra hour of sleep this morning? I sure did. Caught up on sleep and did some light work before noon… then launched into a three-hour house cleaning event. Yeah, one of those.
Tonight I focused on some creative outside work that involves being part of a collaborative magazine with a bunch of designers. The theme of this ‘zine is “Positive and Negative”, and I decided to use photographs for this one. Funny, all the ones I’m including have been a Cocktail Hour post at some point!
I’ll show you the finished version tomorrow — stay tuned!
