David is a member of the pinhole project and an accomplished photographer in his own right aside from pinholes. He took my online night workshop this past spring and made some outstanding images. He has been making pinholes of the Aurora Avenue Bridge, a span that crosses Lake Union high above the water.. It has been a difficult process for him and for me: the first or maybe the second image he made was taken down by who knows who? A pinhole bandit for sure and it was disappointing to say the least. Pinhole photographers devote so much time to the process, an exposure of three weeks this time of year is barely enough. So imagine how they feel when a camera is taken down by a stranger for no apparent reason or that something else happens? David also had one camera come back to me that was completely blank, a mystery we have not yet solved. I trust him when he says that the shutter cover was taken off. (This sometimes happens to people who do not take the cover off). His most recent image had gotten a bit wet, not terribly bad but wet with water stains none the less. That happens when it rains as much as it has been. So I commend him for continuing and applaud his great work. Here are three of his images that explore the beauty and mystery of this long exposure process using one subject and two images showing the placement of his cameras.
