My pinhole photos!

My film finally got developed! and i actually got some decent shots! so excited! and since i've been such a slacker on blogging regularly (the end of my summer classes have been super busy...) i'll post one photo each day :) enjoy!

oil lamp base design numero uno

ta da! this was my first base design. like the nifty lil logo i decided on? i also have some really sweet newe designs i've cut out of plexi that i can't wait to photograph and put up on here next (now that i finally have my camera back!). they lok pretty space-agey, i think.

The Camera's Complete!

Whew! Finally! I've been finished with this for a week now and it was driving me crazy that my car was locked and i had no way to get my digital camera out of it! but here they are! and now we're just awaiting my first roll of film from gentry's photo shop, my first pinhole shots should be ready for pick up on saturday :)

3d rendering!

My first successful rendering in Rhino! I feel so accomplished! This will (hopefully) be the metal cap that will hold a wick in my next industrial design project: an oil lamp! Not sure if I'll actually be able to make it on the CNC machine, but if worse comes to worse, I may improvise with a metal icing decorator tip.

pinhole camera v3.0

the outer casing still in the works, see the pinhole underneath the cap? (:

Interior chamber

The interior film chamber

a sucessful pin-hole photo!

for those who don't know what a pinhole camera is, its basically a very very simple camera that uses light sensitive photo paper or film negatives by using the most basic laws of optics. all you need is a light-tight box and one tiny pinhole on one side.
this is my first actual photo using a pinhole camera (i tried once in a high school photography class and i fudged 'em all up).
the image on the left is the original image the camera created, then i scanned it into the computer and flipped it. the picture is actually the entrance to my university's main building, Burrus Hall. :)

and here's the cardboard camera that did it! (don't judge the prototype's cruddy craftmanship...)

more screenprinting

and here's the t-shirt version of my "<3 formation" print! this one's my mother's day gift but people seem to really like this design, may have to make more of 'em.

a busy day indeed...

Today, my architecture studio and I finally constructed the timber frame "roof" project we've been working on for 3 weeks! It was hot and we were all sweating buckets by the end (even though almost all i did was take pictures) but it was so worth it , getting it up there on top of those columns was pretty epic. enjoy, and if you've got any questions as to what this was exactly, feel free to comment!
