Exposure: through two panes of glass for about 6 weeks beginning November 28, 2017.

DOV: Due South.

Camera: American Spirit Can Homeland Insecurity Pinhole (preloaded) by James Huff. .
And here

Narrative. This is the view from an upstairs window of my house, except it is flipped horizontally, not that I couldn't flip it digitally, just that I thought the composition was better this way.

In late November - December and January the sun barely crests the horizon here. After exposure of about 6 weeks I opened the can and looked at the paper negative, it appeared blank (unexposed). I stuck the paper back in the can closed the shutter and forgot about it for about a month. When I reopened it I could see the faint outline of the spruce trees, very faint. I decided to scan it and see if I could bring anything up with Photoshop. So that's what we have here, well this is the positive image after inverting the paper negative.

It's pretty amazing to me that these digital devices can see things that are hidden to our eyes. But there are many things I do not understand - most things, I suspect - even (and maybe especially) when they can be explained. Satisfied enough with the mystery, and the Art.

Thank you, James. An amazing gift which I look forward to tripping with again.
