Last month I came across an article in one of the monthly photography magazines that talked about solargraphy and how to go about making a small pin hole camera to track the sun's progress in the sky over a period of 3 - 6 months. Smitten by this idea I began to follow up internet links that lead to the website of Tarja Trygg's phD project in Finland.
Tarja encourages people from all around the world to contact her and by giving her your address she will send you two small pin hole cameras for you to secure to one south facing spot to leave for a period of 3 - 6 months. After the cameras have been exposed you can send them back to her in Finland for her to then process. A selection of the best images captured are then uploaded to her site.
On emailing Tarja she sent me two cameras that I put up on the 24th March which I shall then leave until the summer solstice in June.
A great overlap of art/photography/science.
