Boy of Blue Industries

I, when it comes to making photos, am of the camp of a photo is a photo is a photo no matter what camera it was taken with, captured with a digital censor or a film plane, or printed from a computer or in a dark room. A good, smart photograph, however it's made, is a good smart photograph, accidental or not. "Good" is a subjective word, which I'll tackle at a later day.

Wayne Martin Belger's work falls far from that idea. Belger constructs gorgeous pinhole cameras with the intent of capturing a specific subject with each camera. They are alter-like, a tribute to each of the subject he plans to photograph with the camera. I am most awed and intrigued by the HIV, Heart, and Altar cameras.
