Did I mention I just spent 2 weeks building a 35mm pinhole camera for Worldwide Pinhole Day 2011? Did I mention Worldwide Pinhole Day 2011 takes took place on April 24 2011? *sigh* Oh well, let’s pretend I intended to hit this party ‘fashionably late’. Salsa, anyone?
George: “Why don’t they have any salsa on the table?”
Jerry: “What do you need salsa for?”
George: “Salsa is now the number one condiment in America.”
Jerry: “Do you know why? Because people like to say salsaaaaa.”
Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld – Seinfeld

HE DOUBLE-DIPPED!!
When this image first loaded, it looked like two bowler hats att he bottom. I got really excited, but I don’t know why!! A subconscious love of bowler hats?? Who knows, but I love the photo!
HA!
GIVE ME THE CHIP! GIVE ME THE CHIP!
Who doesn’t love a good hat, Dishy? It’s all about accessorizing (or so I have heard)!
🙂
Only you would know about Worldwide pinhole day and then spend 2 weeks making one..haha
Only I would do that and the MISS THE EVENT!
It’s sad, Bearman…
very sad.
🙂
LOL… Better late than never… or at least that’s what they say… You should have said that you’re a year early for next year… 😉
Hahaha…
now THAT’S thinking, sir!
I’m feeling much better (and more punctual) already! 🙂
Move over salsa, relish is the new kid in town
Ha! They say every condiment has it’s 15 minutes of fame…
🙂
I feel like a tramp looking out the keyhole of my carriage wondering where the hell I am 🙂
Hahaha…
at least you got a ride, F.L. –
I usually have to walk back!
🙂
I commend you for building a pinhole camera. Impressive! Love the photo [and the Seinfeld dialogue]
Thank you very much!
It surely was an experience! 🙂
You know what a much better condiment is? Mayonnaise. Not only does it taste better, but how good does it feel to say “may-o-NAZE!”?
Hahaha…
I put Mayo on pretty much anything
(and now I have another excuse to love it)! 🙂
I like this. I like holes. Seriously. There’s special secret stuff in holes.
I’ve heard a rumor about that…
🙂
Lol I love it! The hole does add a nice touch!
I considered cropping this down a bit more, but I wanted to show off my fancy sprocket holes, too! 🙂
How long does it take to put a pinhole in a box, anyway? I’m guessing a few days longer than it should!
And yes, you have very nice sprocket holes.
Hahaha!
It ALWAYS takes me longer than it should… to do… pretty much anything!
Thank you for noticing, Binky! 🙂
I hate it when that happens.
It makes for a bad day at the office.
🙂
that is the story of my life. alwasy late with no money.
See? You are not the only one, JB!
🙂
I love Seinfeld! George is the best. Unfortunately I find myself acting like him from time to time.
What the heck is a pinhole?
Me, too, Mel. In fact,
“I am Costanza… lord of the idiots.”
A very simple camera… basically a light tight box with a very tiny hole in place of/acting as a lense.
🙂
Sweet hole (sorry, that came out wrong). I guess I still time for National Pinhead Day.
‘I don’t wanna be a pinhead no more, I just met a nurse that I could go for.’
Rock on, S.E.!
🙂
Gabba gabba hey!
Chewin’ at a rhythm on my bubble gum…
🙂
Hahaha… that can happen, Mr. J.! I’m usually a guest speaker at National Pinhead Day.
I hope you had a great birthday, sir!
🙂
I learned about the Worldwide Pinhole Day 2011 only 2 days before the date. I would have loved to participate.
I remember that episode on Seinfeld on salsa. Personally, I like salsa, the dance. Cheers!
The sad part is I was planning for it months in advance… and then I still managed to forget. That’s just my style!
I’m not very successful with either one… I’m either spilling some on my shirt or stepping on my poor wife’s toes! 🙂
Your comments have greatly increased while I’ve been away…was it something I said??
What is all the hullabaloo about pin hole photography…please explain. I do like the outcome, but is it difficult and totally time consuming to achieve? I’m not into difficult stuff. 😉
Hahaha – I’m just into stuff that provides a wealth of excuses for… ‘unexpected results’. 🙂
I love unexpected results.
Sometimes they do work in my favor…
🙂
I’ve been doing pinhole stuff for a while. I usually turn to a Zero Image 4×5 with a medium format back on it. I love the unpredictability. I also love how wide angle shots don’t have any distortion. Truly a fun facet of photography to play with!
NICE! I’ve drooled over looked at Zero Image cameras online, before – they look to be pretty amazing! My pinholes are always D.I.Y jobs – some more successful than others. I really liked building models that held photo paper, but without access to a darkroom I’ve been having to modify my designs a bit.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Stuart – I sure do appreciate it! 🙂
Nice work ! I have experimented with digital captures of pinhole images using a pinhole box – a type of camera obscura made out of cardboard. I have never managed to take a shot on Worldwide Pinhole Day (pick a year).
That sounds like so much fun… I’ve always wanted to give something like that a try!
I know exactly what you mean… despite my best intentions I NEVER seem to get a pinhole image produced ON the day of W.W.P.D…
maybe some day… maybe.
🙂
