On May 11th I started my graduate program and my first class was a special topics in photography.
This was not on the top of my list because photography has never really "clicked" with me (he he).
First week we have been experimenting with Pinhole Cameras and Photograms! Here are some of the ones I made today.

This is a photogram I made today using broken charcoal.
I took a photo of it on my iPhone.
I'm loving iOS 5 with the + volume button as the shutter release! So much more stability.
This is an image from my "watergrams" series. This is a cameraless image, made in a wet darkroom. Nothing digital about this, except for the selective toning to separate the female body from all the rest.
To make photograms, you set objects directly on a sheet of photographic paper instead of enlarging negatives. Then just expose and develop it like a normal black & white print.
Here's my second photography homework assignment... to make a collage out of at least five photograms.
Best seen as large as possible!
What is a photogram? Well, it's where you put objects or an object on black and white photo paper and expose it to light and then develop it. Some people had themes for their work... mine was just random stuff pasted together.
photogram with some burnt, and oiled plastic, a heart diagram, and a screen printed image of a woman kicking a man's ass on broken glass.
One of the first photographs created was a photogram. I love re-visiting the historical and simple process from time to time. The simplicity I find refreshing and the chemical processing in the darkroom is almost a meditative state for me.
Photograms were the first thing I learned in darkroom and I enjoyed doing them a lot. Finally scanned them.
A photogram representing nature! Just plants I've collected which I thought were interesting shapes and sizes and did a Photogram of them!

Photogram I made today. Half a plastic skull and a friends pipe. Turned out really good and its a lot more brilliant in person. This is just a picture of it (no scanner).
A photogram of a mixture of things really! Did whatever objects I could get hold of which I thought would be interesting! Scarf and sugar for texture. Cutlery and beads for shape!
