Cher MacNeill > August 2010 – Featured Pinhole Photographer

Cher MacNeill – Toronto, Canada – Website: www.chermacneill.com

“As digital technology advances, our ability to readily produce and capture images increases. Pinhole photography contravenes this trend of speed and instant gratification and I find that very satisfying. The pinhole process is photography stripped down to the bare essentials. One needs to be methodical and considered in one’s approach. Intuition is given space to roam.

I worked close to twenty years in film editing and I’m always intrigued with the idea that making a pinhole image is akin to producing a movie onto a single frame of film. I like to describe it as a cinematic crunch: 24 seconds on a frame instead of 24 frames per second. The resulting image is a distillation of time whereby the essential elements of a scene are extracted… perhaps reminiscent of the process by which a fine whiskey or a well-nurtured wine is produced. And I can only say cheers to that.

Someone once suggested to me that a pinhole camera “aestheticizes” the image. This was presented as not a particularly positive trait. I guess I can’t really argue the point and whether it is a good or bad thing depends on the individual viewer and their general attitude towards the photographic medium. It has certainly provided me with plenty of food for thought…. Simply put, I enjoy the pinhole take on things.”

CK → Fortunately there are still places in the world where you can be completely at peace with your surroundings. Places still wild and untamed by man and the modern world. Landscapes where time seems to tick just little slower than we’re use to. I can tell by looking through Cher’s photos that she too shares a love for nature and wide-open spaces that I do. And being that August is my birthday month and that I just travelled to remote locations on Vancouver Island Canada, it pleases me that the next artist in the series is a Canadian photographer. Thanks Cher for sharing your vision.

San Diego Family Portrait Photography In La Jolla, Southern California

CK — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 02:41:45 +0000

Early this July I had the pleasure of photographing a portrait session in La Jolla with a family visiting San Diego. One of the sisters in the family contacted me prior to their vacation and wanted to set up a portrait session at the beach. So we did. We had great weather and the family was a joy to work with.

Shikiko Endo 遠藤志岐子 > July 2010 – Featured Pinhole Photographer

CK — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:43:12 +0000

Shikiko Endo 遠藤　志岐子 is a female pinhole photographer currently living in Tokyo, Japan who creates unique color and black and white photographs using homemade and purchased pinhole (lensless) cameras.

2010 pinhole self-portrait of Japanese photographer Shikiko Endo

私が針穴写真に出会ったのは偶然の連続だった。
でも今改めて考えると、その偶然の積み重ねは、必然であり、運命だったのだと解る。
それは出会った瞬間に恋に落ち、そのまま片思いを続けているようだ。

空を撮るのが好きだ。青く青く抜けるような空が好きだ。
雲が流れていくのを撮るのが好きだ。
重たく垂れこんだ雲を撮るのが好きだ。
一日の終わりの日が沈むのを撮るのが好きだ。
じっとその日の出来事を振り返りながら。
キラキラこぼれ落ちる太陽の光を撮るのが好きだ。
自分の町を流れる川を撮るのが好きだ。
穏やかな海、荒れた海を撮るのが好きだ。
風に揺れる花を撮るのが好きだ。
線路のある風景を撮るのが好きだ。
車窓を流れる景色を撮るのが好きだ。

私は私の身の回りで繰り広げられる、自然の営み、人の営みを
針穴写真で撮り続けたい。

針穴写真。それはただ写真を撮るだけではない。
被写体を撮りながら、そこに自分の心を流し込む。
私の針穴写真から、私の心の声を感じてもらえたら、私はうれしい。

English Translation of text above.
It was continuous that I had met the pinhole photograph of a coincidence. But the accumulation of the chance is necessity and understands it when I think some other time now when destined. It falls in love at the moment when I met you and seems to just continue unrequited love. I like to take the sky. I like sky that comes off in blue and blue. I like to take the float of the cloud. I like to take the cloud that drips heavily. I like to take sinking of the last day of a day. While quietly looking back on happenings of the day. I like taking solar light to run down shiningly. I like to take the river that flows in my town. I like to take the quiet sea and the troubled waters. I like to take the flower that shakes to the wind. I like to take scenery with the railway track. I like to take the scenery that flows in the car window. I want to continue taking the natural working and the working of the person developed around me with the pinhole photograph. The pinhole photograph. It doesn’t only take the photograph. My mind is poured there while taking subject. If the voice of my mind can be felt from my pinhole photograph, I am glad.

CK → It’s a pleasure for me to bring talented artists like this to light. Shikiko truly is dedicated to practicing the art of pinhole photography. I enjoy how she takes the viewer’s mind and imagination on ride while she travels and uses her pinhole cameras. Her images give the viewer a chance to experience a moment in time viewed through the pinhole-eye of her camera. Thanks 遠藤　志岐子 and may your creative path lead to many more wonderful images. -Chris

Dmitry and Angela’s San Diego Engagement Session

CK — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:28:31 +0000

One of my favorite aspects about being a wedding photographer is getting to know the couples that have hired me to photograph their wedding during their engagement session. This is a time where everyone gets to have fun and relax while exploring places around San Diego. Dmitry had found me through my toy camera (Holga) photography, so I had planned to do shoot some film on their engagement session. But unfortunately we had some serious June gloom on that day, which I think isn’t the best weather for the Holga photography. Nevertheless, we had a great time wandering around making photos and getting to know each other. Thanks you two for making this session so fun and I look forward to photographing your wedding this Fall at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park.

“Selfforms” – description of the work

My way to express a creative influence of people and places as well as a variety of situations that I happen to find myself in is through photography. The aim is to ‘objectively’ comment on my ‘true self’ in reference to the surroundings. I hope to cross a thin border and get an insight into an emotional mirror of the others who not only influence but simultaneously create and destruct me.
I am trying to find a universal face, without the artificiality of posing in front of the camera. I installed a pinhole camera in front of my face so that I could prolong exposure up to a few hours. It was supposed to objectivize vision: ephemeral gestures and short-lived mimics invalidated each other leaving only hardly visible traces.
19th century physiognomists believed short-lived mimics reveal the truth about man. I am looking for it in endurance: exposing my own face I am busy with everyday activities – I talk to my friends, listen to music, work, eat, walk, sleep and so on.
The initial result is astonishing. The first photograph depicts a face not much different from the one seen in the mirror. I decide to continue, and, after development, my impression is that I know much less abut myself than I used to… The obtained images are full of mysterious traces of the outside world, suggesting passages of time and their uniqueness. My surroundings become a synonym of some remote period in my life, and the image obtained – its mask, a hybrid of various emotions and reactions to the world.

The confined expression of time flow revealed by the photographs embodies existence within some secret universe. With time objects change their meaning – they undergo unconscious verification, separating important from insignificant. Each white strip or smear in the image offers evidence of the past and develops a feeling of calm, slow rhythm of time in relation to which I remain – relatively – unchanged.

CK → When I first saw Jaro’s Selforms pinholes, it made me think of what it might look like if you took a picture of yourself traveling through time. Yet another example of how pinhole photography is only limited by your imagination. It’s also a pleasure to be able to showcase another talented pinhole photographer from Poland. Thanks Jaro for being part of the series. -Chris

San Diego, California Children’s Portrait Photography

CK — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 16:41:22 +0000

One of the great aspects of being a portrait photographer is that you get to meet a wide variety of people… from children to adults. I’ve always felt that children have an ability to see the world with wonder and enchantment, which in turn makes for wonderful portraits. Whenever I get a chance to photograph children, it’s a pleasure to see and capture the joy in their eyes through the lens of my camera. And since I tend to be a bit of a child myself, I feel that helps me to better connect with the children I set out to photograph. So naturally, when I got the request to photograph this little girl’s princes party, how could I resist?

Martha Casanave > May 2010 – Featured Pinhole Photographer

CK — Tue, 18 May 2010 05:21:43 +0000

Martha Casanave’s Coastal Pinholes

My most recent pinhole project is “Explorations Along an Imaginary Coastline,” and lasted from 2000 to 2009. It was published in book form in 2006 (Hudson Hills Press). What inspired me to begin photographing at the shore, I do not know, as I have nearly always been an indoor photographer. I began visiting the coastline (Central California) on a regular basis, weighed down, like an inexperienced traveler, with too much baggage: camera, thermos of coffee, big bag of toys, shower curtain for sitting on wet sand, and more.

I put the 4 x 5 pinhole box directly on the sand or rocks, and stabilized it with sandbags. Even though the Leonardo camera has tripod sockets, I didn’t allow myself to use them. The directive to myself: I may place the camera anywhere a crab can go. The wide-angle, distorting view of most pinhole cameras is thus utilized best, from low angles. Also, working in this way takes me back to my childhood, when I played with toys, and lived closer to the ground and further from reality. The near infinite depth of field characteristic of pinhole cameras allows me to play with visual elements of near and far. The time dilations –- long, long exposures-– allow water to become cloud, person to become ghost.

For me, photography is like magic. One of the reasons for my fascination with the 19th century is, in fact, the invention of photography. But the pinhole principle, the camera obscura, which far predates the ability to “fix” an image, is even more mysterious and magical. Its allure is its very simplicity: a box with a tiny hole creating an image– no lens, no viewfinder, no shutter. An optical phenomenon, unadorned by modern technology. Pinhole photographers don’t “shoot;” they don’t “capture” images. There is no snap, no click, no buzz. There is no viewfinder. We don’t need batteries. We uncover the pinhole and the film receives an image, one we can’t see, slowly and in silence.

As the coastal work progressed, I began to occasionally photograph in the distance a solitary, mysterious figure in 19th century attire: bowler hat, frock coat, cane or umbrella. I asked myself: Who is this person? Where did he come from? What/who did he leave behind? What’s he looking for? This person gave the work an ambiguous, narrative quality and thus made it more interesting for me.

After the book came out, the work took an interesting turn. The 19th C mysterious figure became fascinated with tide pools. Therefore I began making images partially underwater. This necessitated the design and construction of a special housing for the camera, including a way to stabilize it for the very long exposures (10–15 seconds). I wear chest-high waders, as I must sit directly in the tidepools. This work progressed very slowly, as now it was not only weather dependent (I needed clouds or fog) but tide-dependent (I needed an extra low tide), and, of course, 19th C man-dependent.

Examples from earlier pinhole projects—“Pinhole Narratives” and “Leningrad in Winter”—can be seen on my website www.marthacasanave.com.

CK → First of all I want to say it’s a pleasure and honor to be able showcase Martha’s work as part of this ongoing series. I have always felt that pinhole photography is an art form that doesn’t belong to any specific time in history. The simplicity of the process reminds us that creating art doesn’t have to be complicated. By using equipment that doesn’t require batteries and fancy electronics, this enables the artist to create art spontaneously. And since I’ve grown up most of my life near the sea, I have learned to appreciate and respect the ocean above and below the water. Thanks Martha for sharing your words and images in this feature. -Chris

San Diego California Spring Portrait Session With Baby Ellie

CK — Tue, 18 May 2010 05:04:25 +0000

Life is beautiful, especially when you’re a baby. There are so many wonderful things to touch, taste, see and hear. Each day discovering something new and interesting that they never knew before. From being fed by a spoon and learning to crawl to taking your first step and chewing your food with your first set of teeth. One moment they’re laughing with joy and the next moment crying with sadness. As parents we know these childhood moments pass by quickly and if we don’t take notice of them, they’re gone forever. So what better way to remember these times than through photographs. And since I’m a father of two children of my own, I can appreciate how fast that time passes. I’m lucky to have found my passion in life and it gives me joy to share that happiness with others. Thankfully Ellie’s parents appreciate photography as well and have kindly hired me to photograph their children on numerous occasions. So my advice to you is, “carpe diem” as much as you can and appreciate every moment for what it is and for what it will be.

Edyta Wypierowska > April 2010 – Featured Pinhole Photographer

CK — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 03:02:49 +0000

Edyta Wypierowska was born in Poland. She studied photography at Multimedia Communication Faculty at Academy of Fine Art in Poznan, Poland and achieved MA degree in 2003. As an artist Edyta skillfully utilizes the pinhole camera’s distortions of space and scale in the image. She builds a camera first and then, she constructs a still life. Final photographs exude a sense of adventure and mystery challenge the viewer’s notions of reality.

Still Life I
“The fruits, photographs of which I have taken during a few minutes exposures, are in a strange stadium in-between of ripeness and rottenness. That state is ambiguous. During the exposure the fruits seemed to be ripe and juicy, however there is something on the photographs that foreshadows their near decay. It is not possible to opt for either of the features since each one of them has some traits of the other.
Using a pinhole camera in this case was intentional. Unpredictability of what may happen in a frame was essential. I did not want to have an absolute control. It was also important to me to have some inaccuracies in copying. I believe such on “inaccurate” seeing is closer to human way of perceiving the word since often we are unable to define and name everything precisely.”
The series includes 22 photographs were taken with the camera obscura.
Prints are silver gelatine contact prints, 8×8 inches.

Still Life II
”The pictures were taken with a pinhole camera. I have worked with daylight. For some of the motives I used a mirror to catch the sunlight and highlight certain elements of the composition.”

The negatives have 20×20 inches size and they are contact silver gelatine prints.

CK → It’s been a goal of mine for the past three years to produce monthly features on my website and blog on photographers from around the world that are doing new and innovative things with pinhole photography. A while back I came across this amazing Polish photographer that was doing some truly unique work. And since the world wide pinhole day is on April 25th this year, I wanted to have an artist I really liked. And since it’s springtime, I felt that Edyta’s pinhole fruit series seemed appropriate. So with the help of my pinhole photo buddy, Jesseca Ferguson and Edtya’s photographer friend Andrzej Bogacz, I was able to make this feature happen this month. I hope you find her work as inspirational as I do. Cheers -Chris

San Diego B-Boys Eddie & Saso (Rock So Fresh Crew) Graffiti Art Photo Shoot

CK — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:23:10 +0000

I think a lot of people have the wrong idea about what hip-hop culture is all about… so before I go into talking about this photo shoot, I feel like I need to share some facts on the subject. Hip hop is a cultural movement that originated in the working class communities of New York City, United States, in the late 1970s. DJ Afrika Bambaataa first outlined the five pillars of hip-hop culture: MCing, DJing, breaking, graffiti writing, and knowledge. Other elements include beatboxing, hip hop fashion, and slang. Regardless if you like the music or not, it has become part of our culture and I think deserves respect. And since respect is something you earn and not buy, this is why I feel honored to have had the opportunity to photograph these two accomplished b-boys. For those of you who don’t know what a b-boy is… a b-boy (or break-boy) is a male dancer who practices breaking or b-boying, the hip-hop dance style, commonly known as “breakdancing.” B-girl refers to a female who practices breaking, and the term breaker is gender neutral.

I first came to know Eddie and Saso after they had seen and were impressed by some photos I had created for the 2009 Culture Shock San Diego dance theatrical “Graffiti Life: The Color of my Sole. This was a creative collaboration between the Culture Shock San Diego dance troupe and local graffiti artist, Pose2. One thing led to another and we arranged the shoot you are looking at now. We all decided to do guerilla style portraits, where everyone drives from one location to another, stopping and shooting for a short period of time then moving on. Eddie & Saso started b-boying 15 years ago at Culture Shock San Diego and made a name for themselves by dancing with the acclaimed JabbaWockeeZ dance troupe. While they were with the JabbaWockeeZ, they toured with New Kids on the Block, opened for the 2009 All Star Game with Shaq, starred in the Gatorade G Series commercials as well as working with various artist such as Missy Elliot, Swizz Beatz, Daddy Yankee, etc. In 2001 they started their own crew called “Rock So Fresh”, which include the following b-boys, Fresh Finesse Optic, Tuff Rockin’ E-Swift, Eddie Styles, King Saso, Poe One, Rock/BugId Bandit, Sumo, Belle Roc, Get Busy Godoyski, Jazzy Jade & Destijl. Since starting the crew they have been in Gatorade G Series commercials and were honored with the 2010 Mighty 4 appreciation award. They now run the Breakin Habits workshop that focuses on the fundamentals of b-boying & b-girling. The crews goal for the future is to continue to spread knowledge to the community about hip-hop and hip-hop dancing (b-boying).

For one reason or another I feel that since I enjoy, appreciate and support hip-hop music, graffiti art and dance, I have become somewhat of a hip-hop ambassador for San Diego. So one of my goals is to keep educating people with my photos and words, that hip-hop culture is and has been important part of what makes San Diego style what it is today.

I want to thank Liz Bernal for helping bring this shoot to life and for assisting with lighting. Many thanks to Seedless clothing in Ocean Beach and Undisputed Fitness and Training Center in North Park for allowing us to photograph outside of their buildings. I really like it when businesses support local graffiti writers by using graffiti art as a decorative element on their building. Art by the people for the people.
