365 Day Exposure Pinhole Photograph by Michael Chrisman

Technical note - Chrisman uses photosensitive paper in his cameras, as opposed to film, because it is less sensitive to light. A typical daylight exposure with a pinhole camera loaded with film would be a few seconds.

Even so, with the length of Chrisman’s exposures, the paper is extremely overexposed. There is no need to use chemicals to bring up the image. After so long, it is there on its own and visible to the naked eye.

“If I were to try to develop the paper in a traditional darkroom, the image would be lost,” said Chrisman.

Instead, he uses a scanner to capture the image from the paper, and in doing so, destroys the paper image itself. “The bright light of the scanner slowly erases the image, inch by inch, as it captures it.”
