Abstract

Valparaiso University is a place of diversity, of differing perspectives on the world at large. Every student approaches Valparaiso with a unique lens with which they view the world. We students in the Communications department know that more than anyone, with all of our colleagues having very different approaches to photographing the world. The sensibilities that we possess in photography are influenced by the physical camera lenses, which separate our approaches to how images are taken. For this project, we wish to eliminate the differences in our art that come as a result of the physical lens by removing it entirely. By replacing our lenses with pinholes, we help to equalize our various cameras to help to illustrate that unique lens that is our own photographic sensibilities.

For this project, we have six photographers who all have very different styles, but who will all take pictures with their pinhole lenses. Everyone will choose an area around Valparaiso campus to capture, and extensively document it in their photos. We will deliberate and choose the best photos of each photographer to include in our SOURCE presentation, with everyone contributing at least one.
