A brief word to explain these pictures. These are pictures taken with a pinhole camera with a trio of different filters. Although most of my photography is somewhat experimental, these are extremely experimental.
Often times I look at a picture and think, well that didn’t work. There are other times, I look at the picture and I think that didn’t work like it was supposed to, but it somehow works in a different way. These pictures I think work in a different way.
The Better
I’m not really sure where the ripple effect came from in these pictures. I think it was somewhere in the development process, unless I bent the film while winding it.
Here are a few more pictures from the The Better Series.
I don’t usually reveal where my picture titles come from, but I think everybody knows that they come from quotes that I like. I’m going to break with tradition slightly and reveal that this title comes from the following Ralph Waldo Emerson quote:
“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.”
Next week’s Personal Photo Project will involve tulips.
You were right, these photos are a little harder for me to follow. I like the circle one, though.
The fact that they are less accessible is part of their charm.
Although I think that the grand majority of people wouldn’t get these photos and all and just think I was trying to pass lousy pictures of as art.
Which might be what I’m doing. I leave it for the world to decide.
