Re: Burrs

Lisa, I like the way you use pinholes. I once made a PH camera out of a large
cooking pot. I drilled a rough hole through the aluminum pot and put the
pinhole lens on the inside. The images had all this -- what I would call
"pinhole noise", perhaps the equivalent of "digital noise", The mess in the
images looked great. At some point I cleaned up the drilled hole and the
"noise " went away. What I should have done is drill a clean hole at another
point in the pot -- I have never been able to replicate that wonderful
distortion.

 I've actually had some really nice results with messy holes with lots of
 burrs. I use aluminum foil and just poke through with no sanding. And if
 you have the film close enough to the hole you can see the shape of the
 hole. And it ain't round, thats for sure. I can see the little fibers of
 torn foil, and the exact shape of the hole that is too hard to discern with
 the naked eye. It feels like looking through a secret hole in the wall.
 Like spying on someone. I did a bunch of my bedroom that have a very dirty,
 voyeristic quality to them.
