Jenny Riffle is an accomplished photographer. She has a BA in Photography from Bard College and an MFA in photography from School of Visual Arts in New York City. She grew up in the Northwest and her pinhole work reflects her love of nature among other things. A true artist, Jenny uses pinhole photography differently than most people. She loves the round can and is not afraid to put her cameras up in the woods within Seattle and also the woods around her mother’s house north of Seattle as well as her brother’s house in upstate New York. Her pinhole work has evolved—at first she made images of downtown Seattle, then found her voice in the woods and there she has made many images. The twelve images presented here are less than half of the total number she has made all in the last two years. No small feat. So go to the pinhole photographer’s section and take a look at the amazing work of this person. I would like to plug a books of hers coming out soon: It’s Raining . . . I Love You: Self-Portraits by Jenny Riffle and Molly Landreth published by Minor Matters Books and a previous book called Scavenger published by Zatara Press.
