Re: Motivations

You know, I feel rather over my head and am gratified by the interest in
my film. I took another overdue tour on the internet site of the work by
members on this list, and have to wonder where I get off writing about
pinhole photography to such a list of photographers. I am very excited
about the cinematic possibilities, however. For the roll that I just
shot, I double exposed the opening scene of a cell cartoon on top of the
pinhole imagery. The pinhole imagery really looks bizaare, and I wish I
could provide a frame from the print. I have yet to get up to speed on
how to do that. Things went "wrong," of course, but I like to have the
hand of fate contribute to my modest creative vision and will be shooting
again with some modifications. Incidentally, I have an advanced degree in
philosophy and a real hankering for art theory, which explains the
attachment and my appreciation for references to writings I see here now
and then. Thanks, Tom.
