Lisa Norman-Hudson and The Purple Lens show up at Bluegrass Elementary Science Fair
Photographer Lisa Norman-Hudson added her Purple touch to her son Caleb's 4th grade science fair project. This was such an amazing project and I learned a few things I'd forgotten. Caleb chose the Pinhole Camera to do his research on. He and his dad started the kit camera and Caleb and I finished it up and loaded film in it to start shooting. Yes, I said FILM. Funny, I had to call around and see who would actually develop it for us. Anyway then we built pinhole camera lenses out of pringles cans. It was awesome. The pringles can was just to be the camera but we had the idea of moving the lens (plastic lid) that we placed inside the canister to different areas and extending the length of the can. Doing all of this represented different focal length as a lens does. This is how we created the combo project. Wish him luck, the winner of the science fair will be announced tomorrow at the end of the year awards ceremony.
