Vanishing Vermont and the Hexomniscope
July 2nd, 2008
Exciting news! I have just begun a new project called Vanishing Vermont which, when completed in a year or so, will be a show and book (co-authored with Eve Ogden Schaub) more information as the project develops...
Meanwhile, I have spent the last few months testing different pinhole and zone plate camera systems and have settled on the for these new artworks. I'm still in the early stages of working with this new system but the flexibility is amazing (as are the huge 6x17+ cm negatives!) Images are printed on Japanese Kinwashi as a d'Vinci Noir (image size: 28" x 90".) The camera is really quite small and weighs in at around 3lb.
I am off to California tomorrow for a bit of shooting (Yes with this camera) so stay tuned for a full report when I return.
In case you are wondering....Film: Fuji Acros processed in Diafine (of course), 360 degree image (6 images), 8 minutes at f/180.
Viva la Revolution!
