[pinhole-discussion] Giant pinhole contact print
Hi friends, It's was exactly two months ago this weekend that we shot our giant pinhole photograph from the 10th floor of the Wyndham hotel in Montreal and after considerable struggle, we've finally created a contact positive from the paper negative. Of the 3 prints we made during the weekend, one is successful and one is OK. The last has really weird streaks which would normally be unacceptable but turns it into a rather surreal print. I will be shooting pictures of the prints tomorrow and hope to be able to post the images on the web soon after. This whole project was incredible hard work and I understand why those who do giant paper negatives do not make contact positives. It requires a big team (there were seven of us and that was not too much), a detailed script of each and every task to be done, by whom and when as well as a tremendous amount of coordination between the team members. It also requires huge facilities. The printing and processing was done in a light tight 20'x30' studio with a 12' ceiling and this was cramped. We needed an additional light tight room with a large 3'x6' sink to pre-wash the unexposed paper before making the contact print and to wash the prints after processing. And then we needed a clean room to hang dry the 12.5' x 8' prints and the paper negative after they were washed. I won't talk about costs, but all in all, we've used 1 1/4 roll of 50'' x 98' of Ilford paper for the negative and the contact prints; close to 100 sheets of 16x20 paper, 50 sheets of 11x14 paper and about 250 sheets of 8x10 paper for the exposure tests; and finally over 300 litres of developer and 300 litres of fix for the processing. We plan to take a break this summer from giant pinholin' but we're doing location search for more images. Talk to you soon, Guy

I am sorry to be such an idiot, but I scrolled down the list and could not find how to change to plain text from HTML. Could you do a simple version for me please. Sorry. Ellis

[pinhole-discussion] Photography's Full Circle (Sacramento show)
Hi everyone, I thought I'd mention that the Viewpoint Gallery in Sacramento, California, has put the images from their "Photography's Full Circle -- The Pinhole Perspective" up on their website: http://www.viewpointgallery.org/ This is the show that was juried by Eric Renner and Nancy Spencer, and features their work, that of Martha Casanave and Linda Pearson, and 54 of 136 international entries. It's up until July 19th, and while I was hoping to get out to see it tomorrow, I will probably not get out there until the reception/presentation on the 13th. (Sacramento is a 2-3 hour drive from San Francisco, depending on traffic.) The exhibit got a writeup in the Sacramento Bee yesterday: http://www.sacbee.com/content/lifestyle/story/3405092p-4433203c.html You couldn't really call it a review, but I think it will be good publicity for the show. Thought y'all might want to know. --Eric
