Having a "Pinhole Point of View"

Cat

Krysten



Read carefully and answer these questions in your sketchbook, be insightful and explain all parts of your opinion in order to support it.



1. "Because there is no viewfinder, it allows you to relinquish your soul to the camera." In your opinion, what does professor Daniel Kazimierski mean when he says this?

2. In professor Kazimierski's opinion, what are pinhole photographer's reacting against in the typical world of photography?

3. "Pinhole is not a point and shoot affair but an exploration." In your opinion, what does Eric Renner mean when he makes this statement about the process of using a pinhole camera?

4. Read the section, "Every Image is a Surprise," then, identify one artist and explain how this artist uses pinhole photography in an interesting way.

5. ** Now that you have taken photographs with your pinhole camera, what excites you, or interests you about this camera as opposed to other "normal" cameras you have photographed with? Explain why. **

** We haven't gotten to do this yet! You are not required to answer question 5 for Monday. Keep it in mind for after we take our own photographs, or you can answer it based on our class pinhole photograph!
