new 52 :: week one :: pinhole photography

I decided to join the new 52 concept and see if I could at least try some new things in 2011. Peppermint and Christine are the ones behind this project. The basic concept is each week to try something new. Simple right? 52 weeks = 52 new things.

Change is good. I am trying to keep an open mind, and trying to embrace change . Even if I don't do something new each week, even if it's something simple I want to give it a shot. I plan to make a mini book with the item at the end of the year. It'll be interesting to see how many things I do end up trying. I think I need to make a list, or maybe I should just go with the flow? We'll see how it plays out. I've already in the last year changed careers and learned to drive standard so should be easy right?

For this week something I have been wanted to try for a very very long time is pinhole photography. I have a couple of links I had saved about making a film one and was all set to do so until I found THIS. OK so we all know Photojojo is pretty awesome and they sell pretty neat things for camera and photog enthusiasts like myself. So, I just happened to get one for Christmas. I tried it for the first time this past week. I love it, I need to work on it more, and apparently clean my sensor but I love it. I love even more that the images are digital.  Here are my first few images.

I won't even pretend to know what pinhole photography is, but I'm very excited for you nonetheless. LOL

I sort of have a list and then the rest is "go with the flow" for me. There are some things I definitely want to stop making excuses about this year, but I don't want to be too structured or I might miss out on spontaneous new things.

Thanks for joining!

Those photos look so cool! It's awesome that you tried the pinhole photography. I'm not sure what it is so I'll google it! :)

I'll send your free template download shortly!

YAY you for hopping onboard! :) I love the dreamy, cinematic feel of your photos. I've never heard of Photojojo, but if it gets your mojo going, I'm all for it :)

I've got ideas of some of the NEW things I want to try this year, but other times I'll just see what happens! I made a pinhole camera in a science class at school (many MANY years ago) but WOW! your results are fabulous!!! I particularly like the orange segments ... the detail is spectacular!
