Pin hole, originally uploaded by taffsdad.

Pinhole images convert the reality of what we see. Instead of the modern cameras ability to capture an image in an instant pinhole images take time to build up an image on the emulsion. In this respect it is the scene that is making the journey as well as the viewer.

Spiral



This small sculpture was done circa 2000 at Marsden Bay. After i took the photograph it got me thinking about the nature of reality. The light travelling from this sculpture does not reach the eye or the camera instantaneously. It takes time to travel. This got me thinking that if what we see is reflected light then the reality we see is always in the past. The light from our Sun takes 8 mins to reach us the light from some distant stars take billions of years so some of the stars we see in the night sky dont exist at all, having gone Super Nova or had some other cataclysmic event destroy their very existense. So in essense what im saying is that this photograph or collection of Html code if you are viewing this online is as real as the original sculpture if not more so.
