Fun Fact about Lexi #1, I hate pinhole photography. When my Dad found out I was using a pinhole camera for my thesis, he laughed at me. I should have listened because damn, I hate taking pinhole images. But, the result is worth it. If I hate the process so much, why did I decide to go pinhole? My thesis revolves around feelings and emotions which places can give us. While I could use a digital camera and print crystal clear images onto a transparency, I want to use a format which captures more than just a perfect replication, but the emotion behind a place too. Fun Fact about Lexi #2, I don't shoot landscapes often, and that seems to be the main subject matter of the thesis. Apparently I decided to torture myself with this project. Luckily, the photos have turned out crisp and with beautiful contrast thus far. With that, I am off to Lakeside Laboratory where I will be photographing my childhood summer play place and meet with artists in residence who are using large format cameras and cyanotype printing.
Peace and Blue, Lexi
