scaled down the cereal box so it would fit inside and slide within the tea
box. I taped together the edges,
leaving both short ends open, one side for viewing and the other side I
intended to attach the semi-translucent sleeve, which in my case was a shopping
bag.

Summary: Difficulties I encountered while constructing my camera obscura
included finding materials that would allow the inside to be completely dark in
bright light, without any light getting through. Additionally, with using heavier material, it was problematic
finding adhesive material that would hold the camera together while being transported to take
pictures. The first camera obscura
I constructed was made with stronger cardboard, but fell apart after only a few
minutes. Also the sliding feature
of the inner box allows focusing of the image but must be a tight enough fit
so it would not slide during picture taking.
Final Presentation of Images:
Image 1:
Image 1: Date: Wednesday June 20th, 2012
Location: Outside the kitchen window in Alexander Court, University of Stirling
Caption: This picture was meant to represent the 19th century theme
of capturing common images, some of which were in artist’s own backyards. Also being inside a darker room while
capturing the lighter outdoors allowed for a clearer picture.

Date:
Sunday June 24th, 2012
Location: Road leading out from Alexander
Court Caption: This image is of a tree truck chopped at the top and with its
branched also cut. I took it to
represent to destruction of nature for commercial purposes. This tree is located next to a parking
lot and its materials can be used for a variety of purposes.

Image 3:
Date: Sunday June 24th, 2012
Location: Train
station in Stirling (Bookstall Railway Station)
Caption: There were many people
walking by. Moving the camera to work with
the light was very important in this image because the sun shining from behind
the camera caused the screen to white out. I had to cross the street and stand beside a building to
shade the dark chamber of my camera.
Date:
Sunday June 24th, 2012
Location: Airthrey Castle, University of
Stirling Caption: While castles are often described as picturesque, Airthrey
Castle is an interesting blend of old and new, much like the camera obscura and
digital camera mechanisms used in this project. The sign informed me it was built in 1792, making it young
compared to some of the other castles in Scotland, yet an older structure for
the very modern university.

Image 5: Date:
Sunday June 24th, 2012
Location: Bridge over Airthrey Loch,
University of Stirling
Caption: I decided to photograph the bridge from one end
of campus to the other over Airthrey Loch because an bridge connects two areas
much in the same way the camera obscura connected art and science.

Revised Image 1: Date: June 25, 2012
Location: Outside kitchen window in Alexander Court, University of Stirling
Caption: After making the inside of my camera obscura darker and using the zoom feature on my digital camera, I was able to capture a clearer and more vivid picture for image 1.
