Photographer Laureate 2005
Artist’s Concept: "I built my first pinhole camera more than fifteen years ago out of necessity. It was built at a time when I could not afford a high-end professional camera, the type needed to produce large format negatives. With no traditional lens or viewfinder, the pinhole camera appears to record the world serendipitously. There is a fundamental beauty to pinhole images, characterized by its surreal quality, vignette appearance, long exposures and greater depth-of-field that traditional cameras cannot provide. Throughout the years, I have continued to build pinhole cameras out of detergent boxes, books, and even the rooms of my house."
