Today I am bringing you my third installment of photographs made at the Blanton Museum. Previously I shared widelux photographs, in this post and this post, but now all these months later I finally have color pinhole photographs I made with my Ondu 6×6 and Kodak Portra 800. Honestly, I had forgotten about them, but c’est la vie when you let your exposed film pile up and don’t keep a record of what you were up to.

More than likely I have said it before, but the Ellsworth Kelly building there is a wonderful place. It is beautiful to look at, and interesting, and lends itself kindly to all sorts of photography.

The museum doesn’t allow tripods, so most of the time I had my camera on the floor, on a bench, or propped up with my bag. I am really happy with how these photographs turned out, so I am glad my unsophisticated system worked! I also pretty much just guessed at the time for exposure, which worked to my liking inside. . . . .

. . . . mostly. . . .

. . . . outside got a little overexposed but hey, it could be worse!

I made some color pinholes inside the museum proper, too, including hand-holding the camera once to a slightly dizzying effect.

I love these statues and find them endlessly photogenic. Clearly I do a better job with some cameras than others.

There’s a new exhibition at the Blanton that my daughter and I want to see, so – provided photography is allowed – sometime in the future I am bound to have more images from this place to share with you.

Thanks, y’all, for looking! Next time I will be sharing work from another Austin location that I can’t visit without making a bunch of photos.
