My Pinhole
The work I’m most proud of for this year would be the pinhole project. The project was to go on the internet and find a website that helped us with directions on how to build a camera that exposed light onto a piece of film. When I got all of my materials I was allowed to build my pinhole. I had to get a matchbox, black paint, an empty aluminum can, tape, a boxcutter and film. When I took the first pictures with my pinhole the film was underexposed, meaning I need to expose the film to the light for a longer amount of time. What I did to fix the problem was to sand the back of my pinhole and expose the film for a longer of time. After two weeks of working on my pinhole camera Jocelyn assigned the students and I to take a picture of ourselves. At the beginning of the second part of the pinhole project my camera wasn’t working very good. When I found out what was wrong with my camera I made the above mentioned modifications and I took another picture with my pinhole I got this image. For this assignment a proud moment was after all of the hard work getting an image like this to come from my pinhole camera. It shows I met my goal for the project which was to get a self-portrait. The grade I received was a B. This assignment reflects my hard work, representing my struggle and determination to make my camera work and not give up.
