Inside The New York Botanical Garden

Morning Eye Candy: The Spirit of Film

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on May 10 2013, by Matt Newman

Last week, Joel Kroin returned to the NYBG just in time for the opening of the Native Plant Garden. Naturally, he had his pinhole camera with him. Because of the nature of pinhole photography—the length of exposure and the time it takes to create an image—moving things often “ghost” in the final result. Of course, Joel assures us these are real ghosts and he’s just a recording medium for their presence, so we’re going to let the images speak for themselves here.

For your peace of mind, no, we don’t have the Ghostbusters on retainer.
