Protection

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 13 October 2007 in Food & Cuisine.

Today at work was a lot better. I was able to get in do my thing, and then go. Which helped my brain out a lot. I then walked about the Old Towne of Petersburg with amo yes i had my pinhole ready to shoot!

The first spot i decided on was a pretty courthouse. I set my camera down and i notice a woman approaching my direction. I think well if shes in the photo - it will be even more interesting, b/c i know she will be ghostly. She comes even closer and closer until shes bout 15 feet away. The whole time shes getting closer shes giving me one hell of a look, as if i'm setting up a bomb. (To think bout how i looked doing this is pretty funny, i mean most people don't know what a pinhole camera is) Which is exactly what happened. Since she was giving me such a look i decided in-between my counting i'd tell her i'm taking a picture. She looks down at my pot and says "oh theres a camera in there?" i said "well actually THAT IS the Camera." I continue to tell her its a pinhole camera and realize well it might be a bit much to explain to someone who looks like they just want to be on their way. i more or less just explain it takes about a minute to take a picture... she says "oh ok..." in that i have no idea what your talking bout kind of way. I then cover the shutter and pick up my camera placing it in the brown bag i made.

It did get me thinking - and i have had this happen more than once as i'm taking a picture. That people do not understand or have NEVER seen or heard of a pinhole camera. Its hard to explain to them when it's loaded with film, since i can't just open it up and show them the pinhole. So i may take a series of pictures to show how i take pictures with it. i know if i never seen one and did not know much about photography how hard it would be to understand with out being able to actually see the pinhole & where you put the film, how the light comes in, bla bla bla...

Anyway todays shot has NOTHING To do with pinholes its a sake set named Protection. This has a set of 5 cups and their names are: Weather Storm, Three, Eurochild, Sly, and Spying Glass. This is in the Spot The Pot Shop if anyone needs a unique Sake Set ;). I will be more than happy to ship it international, but be prepared for it to be between $20 - $30 smackers for it. You just may have to save that up for something special ummm like um... a ceramic pinhole camera ;D

Going to develop my pictures,
