My head has been gone for some time now, but should return any day now. K

Reminds me of a poem I learned when I was small, I think Robert Louis 
Stevenson - goes something like -


Yesterday, upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away.

Kellie,

Look at the image on this web page:  
http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~stewoody/wetalkno.htm.  In this pinhole photo my 
head "disappeared" because I left the scene to close the shutter and the bright 
light from the window behind me canceled out my head.  The same technique was 
used on this page:  http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~stewoody .

Sincerely,

Sounds like a Jole Peter Witken photograph to me. I know he has taken a
couple of image where the mans head is gone.

The typical case of the "big head, big ego" man whose head couldn't fit
through the pinhole.  I believe some "rich, wealthy" people can't fit
through, not even, a needle's eye!, let alone a pinhole, they just don't
register at all, as if they are non existant...weirdweird indeed.
Now, a camel, that's another story, that's a piece of cake to get them
imaged through a needle's eye, head, legs, everything!!

Kellie,

It is hard to know what happened without seeing the picture.  Probably his head 
was moving; he may have been rolling it around during the entire exposure, 
maybe to make his head disappear.  One day last winter I took a picture of a 
goose that was standing on ice about six or eight feet from the boardwalk that 
goes across a swamp in the local nature center.  The goose stood still for the 
entire 1' 45" exposure, but kept pecking at the ice the whole time.  It is the 
only wildlife pinhole photo I've ever made, and it is of a headless goose.

Jeff,

This is a new one to me!  I knew of it in its variant where the head becomes 
"inflated" in ratio to the square of the photographer's ego multiplied by the 
length of the exposure time...  -:))
In this case, the head is also removed from the photo but it tends to be a much 
more sloppy process!

Without seeing the picture, it is impossible to tell.  However, I am going to
assume that his head was moving, so there would be no clear image of it.

Yes, this is known as cranial reciprocity failure.
Briefly stated, the subject's head size varies
in proportion to the length of the time of the 
exposure, up until a certain point, after which
the subject's head will be removed from the photo
altogether.

Try using faster film in order to keep from decapitating
your subjects.  Or, use a flash.
