Guy on New Georgoff Images

Guy,

Thanks for your critique of my Kitchen and Dolly images. Kitchen is
documentary (and yes, I took many of that house). I like to imagine
household interiors and objects as interior architectural landscapes. The
front of the kitchen stove is a perspective look at nice piece of domestic
deco. Like a perspective of a long, interesting building you happen to pass
by in a city. Dolly is the soft, surreal one. I should have used a larger
hole, I think, to really soften it more. You are right, they are
contrasting images, but the range of pinhole is much wider than my original
impression of "retro-pictorialism in the glass age". A major part of the
appeal of pinhole is the wide range of possibilities given the unique
quality of lensless, plus the unpredictability of it. (Perhaps
unpredictability is an affliction of the beginner here).

Regarding your wife having done Zone Plate/IR on dolls, I can appreciate the
appeal. Maybe you can post one of those for us to see?

Thanks again for you comments.
