Re: 12 day exposure

I glue on a filter holder with the glass broken out over the pinhole, then just use a lens cap for a shutter. I eyeball the position of the camera, sometimes use a laser pointer for fine tuning. The situation was 'as is'. i'd been thinking about this image for several years. It's now the museum of the current hospital on the same grounds.

    This is the result of a twelve day exposure of a bathroom in a nineteenth century state psychiatric hospital building. Newly admitted patients were stripped and scrubbed here before they were allowed onto the ward. I like to think that the glow of light over the tub represents the ghosts of all those unhappy people.
