Film and Pinhole Photography
Welcome! I’m a film photographer in Seattle, visualizing time and place through a variety of toy and pinhole cameras. I love long exposures, motion blur and focus without sharpness.
Read about my experiments on my blog.

I’d have to check with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!
Thanks for stopping by!
Jana,
I expect that you know about this. But in case you don’t, I’m including the link to the Travelwide site. I have some economic restraints at this time, so i haven’t ordered one. The lens for this camera is probably going to skyrocket in price in the meantime, but the camera comes with a pinhole lens, so It may be useable for my porposes, anyway. I’ve been thinking about playing with 4X5 for a while and this may be a way to get my toes in that door before I go with a field camera.
The Travelwide site is at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wanderlust/travelwide-45-camera.
I suspect you may find this interesting…

BTW: I really don’t have a porpoise…
Thanks Raymond, I was curious how a porpoise would press the shutter release on the camera.
I’m so excited for the Travelwide, I elected for a body w lens. I wasn’t sure if they’d get funding when it first started but look at the response they got! Very encouraging to see the tremendous support of film shooters like you online!
I’ve played with a friend’s 4×5 field camera and a Speed Graphic and there are definite benefits to them – absolutely gorgeous bokeh and shallow DOF. But I seem to prefer smaller, more portable cameras so my 4×5 pinhole and this Travelwide seem like cameras I’d be more likely to shoot. If it’s too heavy or bulky I tend to leave it at home.
Mahalo for reaching out. Cheers!
