In the Spring 2012 Visual Thinking Class at Loyola Marymount University, we briefly studied the principles of PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY, and then went out on a photo shoot, documenting parts of the campus in it's 100th Year.

4. MAKING A PINHOLE CAMERA

6. BLACK BOX CAMERA
BE SURE TO NOT INVERT THE CAMERA. IF THE RIGHT
KNOB POPS UP IT WILL UNSPOOL AND DESTROY THE
ROLL OF FILM.
LONG EXPOSURES - MUST USE TRIPOD OR REST ON
SOLID SURFACE
KEEP THE SUN AT YOUR BACK
ANALOG ISN’T FREE. SPEND TIME THINKING ABOUT THE
SHOT. VISUALIZE THE FINISHED PHOTO.
COMPOSE YOUR SHOTS WITH CARE!
