Putting the FUN in Photography again

Digital photography promised to be THE boon to us photographers when it first reared it's beautiful head. Now, I'm not so sure. The upgrades in software alone will drive you nuts. While Diana is using CS4 (when will CS5 be announced?) I am still on CS2. Why?

I like my life uncomplicated. There is only so much I can or even want to do to a photograph. That really applies to pinholes. After all, I am looking for a simple way to express my feelings to an audience. Diana on the other hand, loves the manipulation afforded by all the goo gaws of CS4.

So, for those of you who would like to just have fun, please look into pinholes...they are cheap, use film, and what you imagine is almost always what you get.

I want to introduce you to another good friend in the pinhole world, Brian Krummel. He has just published his new book (which I highly recommend) regarding pinholes. If you need a great book about pinholes, his is beautiful!

You can also read an interview Brian did with me here.

Go out. Have fun with a pinhole. No you don't get instant gratification, but that's sort of nice, huh?

Shameless self promotion

Now you can all see what I have been up to. Click here and comment if you like.

The new book Pinholography is now available. There are also 100 limited edition/signed and numbered copies available through me and they will be on our website www.jargonart.com as soon as I can cajole Diana to put it on the site.

You can use PayPal if you like.

Just e-mail me for details. The cover incidentally, is the Shutterbug cover for November 2009.

Thanks to all of you for your support.
