The Gallery — The Pinhole Project

Interiors

Lots of pinhole photographers are putting up cameras inside their spaces, homes, studios, barns, etc. These exposures are often as long as six months or even a year. In this folder are some examples. Enjoy.

Green River College

Tara Champion teaches digital and film photography at Green River College south of Seattle. She had the students work in pairs to expose pinhole cameras for about a month or more. They exposed the cameras around the campus. The color has to do with the paper that is used and the post processing. I was not involved in the making of these so I cannot say which paper or how they were post processed.

Images from Everywhere Part 2

Squarespace said I had to make another folder for Images from Everywhere. It had reached it’s limit. So we begin again with a new folder and now there are seventeen images. Many more will come. And there are many other folders besides this one.. Take a look and explore the site. I welcome feedback.

Multiple Hole Cameras

Many photographers have tried multi-hole cameras, placing the pinholes equal distance across the front of a metal tin or placing multiple holes within the same opening, very close together (Please see April Surgent’s work from Antartica).. Or holes have been randomly placed across the pinhole plane. Multi-hole images contain two or more sun trails depending on the number of holes. Some times the images overlap within the frame, sometimes they do not. Eric Riedel and Barry Christensen have been collaborating for some time and have made many multi-hole exposures, each taking two holes. Eric and Barry recently had a show of their multi-hole images.

The featured image is by Aubrey Kollodge, a former student from Bainbridge High School.

Students & Colleagues

The students and colleagues of the Photographic Center NW in Seattle have been gracious and active contributors to the Pinhole Project. Many of them have continued after class is finished to make inventive pinhole images. The cover image is the front of the Photo Center taken during a Summer workshop with teens. Five day exposure. I teach a teen workshop every summer, usually in film photography and the students make a pinhole exposure of the front of the Center together. They also make one of their own images with a homemade pinhole camera. Several of the students at PCNW have made many more, especially David Chui and Lou Williams.

PCNW Teen Film Workshop 2021

Students in the Beginning film workshop summer of 2021 made this image. I think the paper fell down onto the pinhole and thus only recorded the hole opening and nothing else. Exposure was only five days but all bright sun.

PCNW Teen Film Workshop 2020

Made by the students in the Beginning Black and White Film Workshop in the Summer of 2020. Exposed only five days.

PCNW Summer Advanced Teen Workshop 2020

The advanced teen workshop in BW photography exposed this camera outside the Photo Center in Seattle, WA for five days.

STUDENTS & COLLEAGUES

The students and colleagues of the Photographic Center NW in Seattle have been gracious and active contributors to the Pinhole Project. Many of them have continued after class is finished to make inventive pinhole images. This web gallery is a continuation of the Photographic Center NW gallery because we reached the limit of 250 images in the first one, so we will continue here.

Spokane Falls Community College

Like Tara Champion, (who teaches at Green River College), Melissa Rackham made an assignment for her students to make pinhole images. These were all exposed during the winter and the colors which are mostly blue reflect that time of year. I do not know what kind of paper they were exposed on.

Ultra Long Pinhole Exposures

Lots of pinhole enthusiasts have shot ultra long exposure pinhole images. By ultra long exposure we mean more than six months. The paper gets really gray and overexposed but when it is scanned, the exposure can be taken down and the wonderful sun trails appear. It is somewhat of a feat to leave a camera out that long and have it still be there when the pinhole photographer returns. All the images in this category have been exposed for at least six months.

Season 1: Sunny Arms Project: Out There

A few years ago, the artists in the building where I live and work in the Sodo neighborhood of Seattle embarked on a long exposure pinhole project. We called it Out There because we made 90 day exposures of the view out of each of our windows from Solistice to Equinox, Equinox to Solistice, each season in full until all four seasons had been made. We had no idea if the images would look different from season to season (they did). Each artist set their camera up and tended it for the 90 day period. Season 1 was made into a panorama and has been placed on a King County Metro bus shelter, on South Beacon Avenue and South Holly Street and has also been exhibited in the storefront window on John and Boren awarded by Shunpike.

Thousands of hours of light have been captured in these exposures. The first season alone represented over 67,000 hours of exposures. We hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed making them.
