Light Lure: Underwater Pinhole Photographs of North Carolina Piers
Presentation
Overview
Overview
Description
Light Lure features underwater photographs by Courtney Johnson taken with low-tech pinhole cameras constructed out of cookie tins, fishing line and waterproof tape. Pulled down by fishing weights, the pinhole cameras were lowered into the Atlantic Ocean off all 19 fishing piers along the North Carolina coast. The images capture the light, mystery and exploration imbedded in the historic North Carolina coastal tradition. The Underwater Pinhole Photographs of North Carolina Piers was generously supported by a Charles L. Cahill Research Award.
