Artist Reviews:
The work in this exhibition by
Dan McCormack not only harkens
back
to the past but explores new
advances which this past
century has
brought to the medium of
photography. McCormack proves
through
these pinhole images of the
female body that this medium

be considered the poor ...

Artist Statement for Dan Mccormack
|
|

I came to pinhole photography from
my involvement with Palladium
printing some ten years ago. With
hand coated emulsions, I was making
contact prints of my 6 x 7 cm
negatives, but because the negatives
were so small, I created multiple
image prints. By combining two,
three, four or more negatives, I
made a larger picture. Then I found
the oatmeal pinhole camera for
making 8x10 inch negatives and I
really like the distortion and the
extreme wide angle of the round camera.
I have experimented with plastic
cameras, panoramic cameras, four lens
3D cameras, video cameras and a
flatbed scanner as a camera. The
pinhole camera is a delight because
it gives me results that are
constantly a surprise.
I enjoy being able to make an image
rooted in 16th Century pinhole optics,
and then juxtapositing that with 21st
Century digital print manipulations.
The final image is a perfect blend
of these opposites. In my diverse
series, I have always tried to find
a mix of image and process.
