This series will not only tackle the general facets of what goes […]

If the World was Ending

February 4, 2021 by Nicole Small | Journal Entries

This is not a usual journal entry, but I will share this anyway. My brother is a man of many talents and has always mastered whatever he has set his mind and himself to do. I have always known my brother as a salsa dancer, hip hop dancer and Krump master and for the very first time, (in a beautifully choreographed dance piece), contemporary dance . I hope you enjoy it as much as I do: Orville Small & Mika […]

Dear Buttery – A Happy Mistake

January 31, 2021 by Nicole Small | Journal Entries

For those who attended the Pinhole Panel discussion yesterday, (@seities ), the question was asked if any of the panelists have ended up with an image that we would consider a happy mistake. This is one of mine. The idea for this image was for everything to be motionless. A butterfly just simply resting on the flowers, but near the end of the exposure the tape it was attached to began to peel off and then completely fell off just as […]

Prepping For The Weekend

January 28, 2021 by Nicole Small | Journal Entries

This is the first time that I have had the luxury of using one of my DIY box camera builds on a tripod. Before I use to use a table or chair with a pile of books with an object on top of them to act as a weight so as to not move out of place. All I got left to do is attach 2 small strips of Velcro under the plank and 2 small strips on the box […]

January 27, 2021 by Nicole Small | Journal Entries

She is still in the beginning stages and lookin’ kinda funny now but once I get a few tests done she will look a whole lot better.   Gotta do […]

Yashica D. First Round of the year 2021

January 21, 2021 by Nicole Small | Journal Entries

It has been around 6 months since I have gone on one these treks and boy have I missed it. My original plan was to work with large format but it was just too cold for that so I brought along my usual partner in crime, the Yashica D. This was not one of the most interesting parks that I have visited, there really was not much there aside from a lighthouse that I saw near the end of the […]
