We had our first fieldtrip outside of Pirambu to explore a new part of Fortaleza. We departed from ACARTES earlier than expected with an animated group ready for a day at the University of Fortaleza photography lab. Upon arrival, we met Wilton, a professor of photography that has been a huge help in the planning of the Pirambu Peace Project, and began the class with an introduction of the laboratory. With his engaging personality, Wilton introduced us to the process of developing images in the lab. After a brief explanation, we were put to work creating our first images... photograms! In order to create a photogram we had to collect interesting objects that would project a unique shape on the photographic paper . The photogram process was a practice in using the enlarger and the developing chemicals.
After a quick break and bite to eat, we were back in the photo lab with the pinhole cameras that we constructed the week prior. Wilton gave a brief overview over the process of the camera obscura that was a great compliment to what we went over in our class the previous week. After the discussion we were released to explore the University campus with our homemade cameras in hand. Each student had their own pinhole camera, made out of a tin can, that they were able to make their first photographic images.
Once the photos was taken, we returned to the photography lab to develop the images.
Overall excursion was very rewarding as it was an application of the information we had been discussing for the past two weeks. Everyone left with several photographs in their hands and a new appreciation for the art of photography.
