ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I own a 1960’s mahogany runabout powered with an old 2-stroke rope-start Mercury outboard. I keep everything as simple as possible with no electricity and with an old-fashioned cable steering. The same simpleness applies to my wooden Lerouge 4x5” pinhole camera that has no lens nor moving parts. But it takes awesome pictures. I’m thrilled to use pinhole photography to capture speed. The slowest possible means of photography for fast occasions.

AUTHOR
My name is Ari Jaaksi. I’ve lived in many parts of the world, have 2 children, been married to the same lady for 30 years, been a part of the executives at Intel, Hewlett Packard, Nokia, etc. and created digital products that have sold in millions. I have a Ph.D. in software engineering and an MSc in Education.

I have fell in love with black and white analog photography. To me, it provides a means but also the limitations; both so necessary for any art!
