This was part way through a kitchen tile project I was working on last week. I set up Don Pyle's nautilus pinhole camera centered over the kitchen island at about a 45 degree angle to the island.
First two rolls with the Lomography Konstruktor. Fun camera, just need to play with the film transport, it tends to tear the sprockets and the shots are really far apart or bunch up together.
Taken with a home-made pinhole blender camera with 5 pinholes. The camera is made from an empty tin can, and takes 35mm film.
Most of my pinhole photography is on:

What's the best way to spend an otherwise lazy, rainy, sunday afternoon?
Note to myself: rate this film/developer combo @ 400 EI from now on.
Anamorphic pinhole photo taken using a 35mm film canister with a pinhole at one end. 10 second exposure on ISO200 C41 colour negative film, developed in caffenol (coffee).
4x5 pinhole camera. Old Tmax 5052 film. Sunny day shot for 24 seconds and developed in Rodinal 1:100 stand development. The film was all stuck together when I got it so it has that old vintage look.
First roll from the Fotodiox TLR I got and put together for my Birthday. Way better than I thought, I love the center focus and blurry edges. Fun camera just need to figure out the winding the film counter is as complained about useless
Not sure what inspired me to force my little brother to prance around outside in the snow wearing whitey-tighties and cowboy boots. And a shotgun. Considering this is in my backyard in Johnson County, KS, I'm pretty sure that's against some sorta law.
Home-built 4x5 camera. Based on the 150-year old principle of the Sliding Box camera.
The lens is a ≈165mm Petzval lens with engraved aperture stops. It does not cover infinity (I have a 200mm lens for that) but acts as a portrait lens.
The back came off a Cambo technical camera and takes standard 4x5 film holders, to straighten things out at the focus end.

This image was made with a Polaroid 110A that I converted to shoot 4×5 sheet film using a DIY "Lo-Fi" back. Exposed on Ilford Delta 100, the camera itself is as much a part of the story as the subject—a blend of restoration, engineering, and experimentation.
From rebuilding the camera to composing the photograph, every step reflects an appreciation for thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and taking the slow route to a single negative.
I stopped one time early evening at a Waffle House off of highway 85 in Southern Georgia. You usually won’t come across a male waiter at a Waffle House, but this was my case at this particular establishment on this particular night. I was served by a middle-aged man, his eyes said he had better things to be doing than shuffling grits and coffee to truckers and travelers, he moved softly, I ordered grits and coffee. His name tag flipped my way – it read “Lost”.
I often try to figure strangers out – create some kind of fictional history: where they grew up, what they were like as kids, where summers were spent, reasons why they do or don’t miss their families, what sets them off, what calms their nerves, where they’ll be 10 years from now, what they’ll be thinking in the last waking minutes of their day. Most of the time I can take a pretty good shot. Whether or not it does their actual background any justice - I’ll never know - but it still pleases me to try.
Now, Lost. My best guess is that he materialized on an empty country mile such as this one, cold and snowy - maybe hot and dusty, wandered right into that South Georgia Waffle House and asked “Your manager here?” And there he spends his days, wearing his wild name tag and bussing lonely truckers under fluorescent lights. I suppose he’ll eventually walk back down that country mile to the top of the road, lift the sky like a curtain, and slip back under.
