Since I've enjoyed seeing other people's work, I thought it only fair to show some of mine in turn. Here are four of the 8 pinhole images I'm showing along with 15 lens photographs in my current one-woman show titled "Catching Time: New Photographs in Gum Bichromate by Katharine Thayer" at RiverSea Gallery, Astoria, Oregon, October 28-November 29, 2000.
Note: Looking at the images on the site, they all seem a bit washed out (light) compared to the originals. 1. This is the image that was on the announcement postcard for the show. It was made with a 35mm camera body, the one with the malfunctioning shutter. I later replaced this particular pinhole with a smaller one, although most people like the images made with the bigger hole better. http://www.p at ???????/discussion/upload/images/kt17thstpier.jpg 2. This is made with a cardboard box, of fishing boats in the local mooring basin. The box I used was longer than normal length. http://www.p at ???????/discussion/upload/images/ktfishboats2.jpg 3. This is the same view as 2 but on a windy day with the boats rocking back and forth, taken with a shorter box. This is my favorite picture in the show but I am aware that this much ambiguity and imprecision isn't to everyone's taste in photographs. http://www.p at ???????/discussion/upload/images/ktfishingboats.jpg 4. Abandoned train station. Made with a briefcase-sized cardboard box, very wide-angle. http://www.p at ???????/discussion/upload/images/kttrainstation.jpg Katharine Thayer
