Trouble

I have had some trouble making the contact sheets for my negatives. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. So this last assignment has taken so long.

Library Assignment

(1)Peter Hujas - "A Retrospective"

-Leroy Street, 1983

-It feels like you're walking the street by yourself and it feels a little scary. You feel very isolated.

(2)Arthur Tress - "A Retrospective"

-Telephone on Bed, New York, New York, 1982

-Another feeling of isolation and lonliness. Feels like someone had left the room in a hurry.

(3)Edward Weston - "Portraits"

-Jose Clemente Orozco, 1930

-He has piercing eyes, it looks like he is looking right through you.

(4)Diane Arbus - "An Aperture Monograph"

-Child with a toy hand grenade in Central Park, NYC, 1962

-The boy looks crazed and you don't know its a toy grenade until you look at the title. You have know idea what the little kid is going to do.

(5)Julia Margaret - "Cameron's Women"

-She walks in Beauty, September 1874

-I don't really like her photos, they look too old and they ovbiously are.

Pin Hole Camera

Making the pinhole camera very interesting. After taking a few pictures with my camera, I thought that my negatives came out really good. However, getting a good positive took much longer. It took a couple tries for my positives to come out the way i wanted them too. I also tried ghosting in one of my pictures. The overall experience of the pinhole camera was a pretty good one.
