Hello, SuperForest!
A little over a year ago (…or maybe two), I crafted myself a lovely little pinhole camera. A project, which sadly went unfinished for I have yet to purchase film and actually use it. It’s sitting in a box on my bookshelf, collecting dust, perhaps waiting patiently for me to experience ultimate inspiration. And though I’ve never used it, the building process of the camera, itself, was all that was needed for me fall in love with the art form and be a complete sucker for it ever since.
In the past, we’ve seen the artwork of Mr. Michel Bayard and explored the wondrous solargraphy project of Tarja Trygg, but the photograph above was taken by the legendary Michael Wesley. Working with New York’s Museum of Modern Art to photograph the destruction and new construction of their building, this German artist was also able to capture 34 months of New York Life. It’s being referred to as the longest pinhole exposure ever. And with its ghostly time-capsule-like features, it’s arguably one of the most beautiful.
