hi all,

I think I've visited here 2010 the last time. Not forgetting photography, including pinholes, but busy doing alt-photos. I've practiced photopolymergravures lately, and here's one (anyway to me) quite successful one (after many meters of ruined ImagOn). Double-exposure pinhole photo on 9x12cm paper negative. As I'm weird anyway, always when winter is coming and there's less light, I dig my pinhole cameras
and start taking pinhole photos. This one is from 2012, I had a small exhibition on the public library 2012, almost all alt-photos or pinholes. Some were just printed with inkjet. This photo, printed large (24x36") was the favorite of one judge I know.

Hope you like it a bit.

I like it a lot, Matti! It has mystery and weight, as if transmitted through a portal between parallel universes.

Thanks Earl! It's worth of visiting here at least once in 4 years :-) Nope, I haven't posted, but searched without logging in some tricks of camera and lens making few times. Built a Bulldog, difficult to use, but when you succeed, the prints from it are fantastic. Normally I use Holga or an old 1954 twin lens reflex Welta. I have got tired of all these Instagrams and a flood of selfies and such.

I have got tired of all these Instagrams and a flood of selfies and such.

My antidote to the digital barrage is a tin can, a sheet of film or paper, and a cool place that cries out to be exposed for more than a fraction of a second. I keep coming back to my 100 mm 8x10 plywood pinhole camera. Since I like it so much, I think it must be time to build a bigger one!

I bet a Bulldog is a lot of fun!

I hope that we see more of your work.
