| Description |
So here I've got a banker's box with a small piece of aluminum foil taped across one of the holes that serve as handles on the end of the box. I used a sewing needle to make the smallest and roundest hole that I could in the foil. At the other end of the box I put a sheet of copier paper, a white background to the image I was hoping to project. So I am holding the box with one hand, and leaning into it with my camera in my other hand. Thank goodness for autofocus! This is with the 18-55 f4-5.6 "kit" lens, run out to 55mm. Not the greatest photo I ever took but it shows what we could see in our pinhole boxes. (We had 2). I believe the first time I used this technique was in 1962, after my dad returned from the Western Pacific on the USS KITTY HAWK. I'll have to look that up and see if its a real memory or a conflation. It was at a house we borrowed from a Navy friend of my father- he and his family had gone somewhere (family vacation? Visiting relatives?) and we borrowed their house for a month or 6 weeks between when the KITTY HAWK arrived and my dad had to report back in Washington DC for his next post. I started the 2nd grade there in San Diego, but then we moved to Virginia. We'd started the year with my dad at sea, mom, Bruce and I in the house at 215 Mar Vista, off Munras in Monterey. Then we moved to an apartment in San Diego for part of the summer. My dad arrived and we moved to the borrowed house. Then we all flew to Virginia, where we lived in a 1 bedroom apartment. It had children's beds let into the wall, like bunk beds, (maybe it was a bunk bed) behind a screen off the dining room/kitchen. I know I slept there, I think my late brother Bruce did too. At the end of the year, we'd moved into our house in Arlington and had probably started steaming the old wallpaper off... I think my dad spent the entire time we lived there steaming off old wallpaper. 6 or 8 layers, with some painted before being papered-over... |
