Simon Pizzey, "Yellow Skunk Flower"
Stroud, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
Stroud, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
"I took my picture at Ruskin Mill in the lovely Horsley Valley, Gloucestershire. I was keen not to choose a building as the subject. Green foliage generally photographs poorly on a paper negative. This yellow Skunk flower was back lit and pungent!"
"My camera is made from a heavy duty posting tube. The pinhole is drilled in the metal from a soft drink can. I have decorated the camera with photocopies of Muybridge's horses and old cameras. It is robust and reliable. I like the way the curve of the camera distorts the image."
