Pinhole Still Life

Coca-Cola Bottle with Flowers

I love pinhole photography. However, I haven't been able to find a darkroom that I can visit, so the traditional film option was not available. The other day when I was changing lenses on my digital camera, I thought about if it would be possible to make some sort of pinhole camera out of it. I found some cardboard from a shoebox and taped it tight to the camera, and found out that it worked fairly well! I think it needs to be tinkered with a little bit more, but I like the result overall.

Juicy Couture Perfume Bottle

Another still life that I set up, this time I tried to incorporate some things that I feel associate with me. This is my favorite perfume bottle, it's beautiful with a big pink bow. I like how the pinhole made a smokey effect on it, the bottle almost disappearing into the darkness.

Campus Informers

You Deserve Hell

This is the third guy this semester who has come to preach to anyone who gives him the time of day. I saw this guy as I was heading to lunch, and quickly went to get my camera. There was a large group of people around him arguing- I don't believe there was a single person who was on the same side as him.

Evil is Anything Against the Law of God

According to him, evil is anything that is against the law of God. As one listener pointed out, what exactly is the law of God? There were arguments about Lucifer and the Devil and whether or not God created evil. I stayed for about ten minutes snapping pictures, but after that, I couldn't take much more. Towards the end of the day, a large group gathered, the majority of the people yelling at him. I give him points for trying... but don't understand why all these people keep coming and preaching to us.
