It’s world pinhole photography day !
Here is a self portrait I took at Hillside Beach Lake WPG

This photo was printed 4x10feet

Fairly low stakes fun in the darkroom with 📸

First day in the home darkroom! and I learned about developing, had a long overdue refresher on using the enlarger, and voila!

Next knitting circle is Monday, April 8th 6:45pm
DM me if you are interested ♥️

Join me in creating a collaborative knitted installation for a show in November with my group

The theme is belonging/lack of belonging. As an adoptee I have no biological connection to place, but still have a deep connection to a random collection of places.
What are your places? How do you define belonging? That’s what we will explore
Strata- Memory- Connection to Place- Connection to Land

DM FOR INFO
