The van arrives at
our school, and Joel Beaman explains to photo students how the van is set
up. |

Students get to see
the inside of the van, with the paper doors shown at the bottom of the
picture. |

Using a simple
step-van, Joel Beaman and his colleague David Miller have created a large,
drivable pinhole camera. Joel uses this van to invent new ways to record
images as part of his continuing investigation of visual imagery as a
working artist. In addition, Joel uses the van to demonstrate the most basic
principles of light by conducting workshops for students.
Joel came to H-F on April 22, 2003, to conduct workshops for our
photography students, as well as other interested students. The workshop was
paid for in part by a grant from Target. |

Joel shows students
the "periscope" setup of the actual pinhole and how it projects an image. |
|
 |
| |
The paper doors are
opened to show where light sensitive photo paper is placed for exposure. |

Joel demonstrated
simple pinhole images in the classroom using Polaroid 600 film. This shot
was taken in Period 1. |
|
 |
| |
This Polaroid
pinhole image was taken in Period 6 and illustrates the depth of field and
distortion that can be achieved. |
|
 |
| |
|
A Polaroid view of
Period 6 from up high was created with a 5 second exposure using a simple
pinhole camera. |

Since there is no
viewfinder, angles of view are unpredictable, as in this Period 6 image. |
|
 |
|
A one-hour exposure
was used to create this large black-and-white pinhole print from the van.
