All of our dreams are supported by our life experiences; when they come into our "sleepy night" they have an atmosphere out of focus as they are out of reality. also our "life dreams" to become ourselves into this, into that, to win this or to arrive to that place, find that love, feel that happiness, etc., alsoare supported by our life experiences but mostly by our desires and wishes.

This “Pinhole Pictures Series” was made from a “Pinhole Eye” while I was hidden behind a hole, the “Hole Of Reality” for to see my dreams happened and future; and is supported by this atmosphere’s dreams (slept or wide-awake), but also, by the way I dream while walking or while sleeping; our life is always a dream, and dreams have the potential to become into “real things”, even the most “far away” dreams could be tangible by our hands, soul, spirit … and bodies.

I made a Pinhole Camera for these pictures with few materials:

Black foam board.
Glue.
Little piece of wood.

The “Camera Oscura” is a darkroom for the imagination …

Well done Felipe, finally finished !
You made a great topic of this great kind of "surreal photography".

I believe its worth to say this kind of cameras can be made with digital SLR cameras, as in this image you can see,



Greetings !
Un abrazo !

Felipe, I'm so glad you posted these together. I like them very much.

Marcos, that is very clever. But my silly little camera doesn't have a lens cap, it closes its own eye! What will people think of next?

Haha charlotte, in the same page, the same guys constructed a 200mm lens made of paper for this camera ; )

By the way, unfortunately, I cant do this with my camera because it isnt a digital SLR, just a normal digital camera : ( But I would like to make this great pictures !

Nice, Phillipo. Dreams are important. I like to dream and believe in dreams. (Some people said, that is why I got in to politics... ;-))
With an out-of-focus lens / camera it is perfect for dreamy images. I made a pinhole camera (using my Nikon) several years ago, but the results were not great. Not like yours.

Great job Philipo! This images are really like dreams...

I really like the idea of getting "your hands dirty" with photography... I will try to get myself to experiment a bit more too... the results are very magic, and that's what I think photography is, a magic moment appears in your eyes and all you try is to pay some respect to such a wonder... Thanks, your work is inspirational :)

I was thinking about asking what processes you follow, but you know what? I would not like to take the magic/dreamy feeling away... I will just try

Greetz,
Max
