STILL MORE PINHOLE DREAMS
- an exhibition of pinhole photographs
organized by the students of the
ART 163 Pinhole Photography class
during the week of April 26 - May 2, 2008 in the
Raymond Witt Gallery.

INTRODUCTION

A camera made out of an oatmeal box? A paint can? A hollowed book? Yes, these are some of the interesting devices students in Roger Vail's ART163 Pinhole Photo class are using for making images. For centuries, people have experimented with various methods of image capture. In these contemporary times of digital cameras, scanners and Photoshop, the basic premise of how images are made becomes ever more obscure. Though the pinhole may be considered a primitive process, students used an incredible array of both archaic and modern methods of rendering their ideas. Pinholes were even used on digital cameras, in place of the lens. Images made in various 'machines' were reversed printed, scanned, made into platinum-palladium prints, and otherwise manipulated with an attitude of "let's see what happens."

To communicate an interesting photographic image or idea, one needs only time and an open mind.
