Film Grant Winner: Chris Hoge
I am pleased to announce the recipient of the 2010 Film Grant, Chris Hoge. Here are some photographs from Chris, with details about his process below.
Chris’s project involves the creation of a custom 360 degree panorama pinhole camera, based on a device called the Ovnipan. The camera will have a total of 6 pinhole apertures, each overlapping to create one continuous 6x21cm image on the film. The images above are simulations that Chris made with a digital SLR while the camera itself is still under construction.

Chris will also be using the Polaroid film in a modified SX-70. I’ll be checking in with Chris over the coming months and look forward to seeing how this project develops.
One more big thanks goes out to Mike Sinclair, who donated a significant amount of film for the grant. Thanks Mike!
