Great piece, the pinhole seems to have given this image an added dreamy and soft quality that fits well with the subject.

beautiful! i love, so ephemeral, a magical image. I don't like the framing device, it takes away from the image.

I am glad you enjoy a bit of pinhole camera magic.

The "framing device" is a result of the hand applied Van Dyke emulsion and not an edge effect or border added later in Photoshop.

Pinhole cameras are the best, you get such an ancient feeling to them. I love the motion blurring that takes place in the models skirts it gives the photograph a more whimsical feel. This is my favorite photo out of your collection. I suppose you know my favorite part of human anatomy by now! Great work, you have such a style going on.

Thank you! My favorite from this particular shoot and destined for the whole enlarged negative ordeal so I can do an alt-process print a little larger than 4x5. If you ever wander to the Maryland area, I'd be delighted to have you turn your back on my pinhole camera.

I have a homemade pinhole camera too. I always thought they were fun but developing always seemed so tedious to me, plush I wasn't great at it. I would be delighted to be your model though I have never been to Maryland and have no plans to in the near future.

Thank you. Backs are the best. Nothing better than that soft S-curve of the spine in a relaxed posture.

i think this is the best one out of all of them, even though i love the IR ones too.

One of my favorites from this shoot as well. The submission order wasn't accidental.

I may find time in the next few weeks to try some of the IR shots as alt-process prints.

Not as good as the first one I commented on...still strong, but not as pretty. Still, a job well done.
