Pinholes & Pixels is the name of an exhibition that you can see until the end of this month at Pequot Library, in Southport (Connecticut). I attended the opening of the exhibition a few weeks ago. Two photographers are exhibiting their very different art there. Paul Jones's photos are pinhole black and white images. I found them absolutely beautiful. To tell the truth I have been to the exhibition four times now! I am fascinated by pinhole photography. Every time I see these photos I want to learn that technique and I want to buy (or to make) a pinhole camera (that is a camera without a lens). It is really magic to me.
The other photography is lenticular photography by Migg Burroughs. Although they are so different from Paul Jones's photos, I liked them a lot. I found them so imaginative, so funny, so lively. I can't find the right words today.
When I visit an exhibition, I tend not to take photos of the photos. It seems to me that it would be kind of "stealing them." But this time I think I should have taken a few more photos of the images shown at Pequot Library.
You should visit Migg Burroughs's website. Among other things, you will see a "video tour" of another recent exhibit.
You can also see a few photos by Paul Jones by clicking here.
Pinhole means sténopé en French, a word I had never read until an hour ago :-))
On the second photo, you can see Miggs Burroughs and his beautiful wife, and my friend Craig Berger on the right-hand side. Craig is a safari guide. His company is called Oasis Africa.

Je suis une amateuse, moi, avec mon petit appareil HP à 3.2 MP 15xzoom. Je n'ai pas eu le choix du choix, il faisait parti du pack de mon ordi. J'admire les mordus de la belle photo.

j'aime bien les expositions ou l'on peut découvrir et discuter avec les artistes. cela devait être sympathique. Les photos en b&w de Paul Jones sur son site sont magnifiques.
