[pinhole-discussion] Art:21 Pinholes on PBS
For those subscribers in the USA, PBS in re-running their series Art:21, starting this Thursday. For those especially interested in pinholes, you should watch the segment on ANN HAMILTON who exposes pinhole images in her mouth. http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/hamilton/index.html "PBS will air Art:21 on January 17, January 24, January 31 and February 7 - four consecutive Thursdays, from 10-11pm." I think that the Ann Hamilton segment is to be shown on the second episode on January 24. (Photographers also interested in Sally Mann should also check out January 17!) There are clips for the series available online at http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/hamilton/clip2.html Enjoy, Louisa Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: Click Here
[pinhole-discussion] Polaroid Pinhole Kits
I am in Japan where they released Polaroid pinhole camera kits mid last year, and am thinking about buying one. http://www.polaroid.co.jp/product/business/pinhole/pinhole.htmlhttp://www.polaroid.co.jp/support/pinhole_sample.html The sepia kit is about 8000 and colour is 9000. Each include a double pack of film (sepia 606 and colour 669). They were planned to be released in the US last October for $100, but I have never seen them there. Anyway this is a bit much for a cardboard box. My questions are: Is there any reason that I could not use sepia/b&w film in the colour camera and visa-versa?Is it worth buying one, or is it cheaper and just as good to make one from an old back? I am a complete Polaroid beginner (only used a day lab a few times), can anyone recommend the best sites to check out to learn about building a polaroid-pinhole? What old camera models would I be looking for to get the back? Cheers, Louisa P.S. Should it be "pinaroid," "polarhole," or "pinholaroid"?MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: Click Here
