Benno: I have enough problems with that silly poetry contest as it is. (Actually, it's kind of fun.) Those Pintoids are moving right along. On Summer Solstice, I went with a friend & her 2 year old daughter to a secluded beach near here. Well, one of many secluded beaches near here. My friend is about 8 months pregnant. The weather was perfect, with this weird-ish high overcast and hot mist rolling in from the bay. A nice breeze to make the white dress flow a little. Lots of elements involved. Sun, water, pregnant woman, child, earth. In fact it was VERY element-al. Just like a ... like a ... like a SoBe bottle! Anyway, I posted a few of those images last night http://www.merrillphoto.com/pintoids.htm ) I plan to do a better job of printing them in the coming week. The 4x5 Pintoid is undergoing renovation. I plan to add two more pinholes to it, so I can choose between using the single, centered pinhole or two offset pinholes, making a somewhat stereo (though overlapped) image. I'm looking for more of those 5x7-ish Altoid tins, by the way (hint, hint). -MM Marcy Merrill Photographer www.merrillphoto.com
