WOODYS

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 4 April 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

The warm sun gently touches me through my shirt
walking along the forgotten streets of Petersburg
Setting down my pinhole camera i made and titled: Little Wings
i look across the street
then look back down at the camera.
Open the shutter
count to 43
watch a few cars drive by in front of the exposure
close the shutter
pick up the sweet little camera and place it in my bag
then walk toward the sun
back in the direction which i came.

thinking how much i love antique stores,
rabbit

This looks just like an old photograph. I guess that is appropriate, given the technique used to take it. Have a good weekend!

This is such a warm and friendly little pinhole shot and your words fit perfectly. So much more than 42 seconds of Woody’s is absorbed and shared here.

Well done with the pinhole. Love your remark, I think there's something about these places that appeal to most of us. Sure appeals to me and I always have to browse through them.

Your words sound like a poem and reflect wonderfully the armosphere of the place and being there. I like also the slightly tilted image, makes me think of old movies that could only be made in bright sunlight because of the film quality of then. Thanks for this delicious piece of day-dreaming!

This has such a nostalgic feel to it. Like something from the turn of the Century, umm I mean last Century.

When i logged onto yr page the 1st thing that came to my mind was "Pinhole shot" then I read and i guessed right. this semster were taught how to build a camera and captured alot of images with it of which i will scan later and post on my site.
The result of your came out great as you know this type of photography is just by chance and one must have some sort of luck to get am image like this.
I commend this result! Lucky outcome.
