Say Cheese!

I’m trying out a solarcan, which is a pinhole camera. Attached firmly to a structure and left exposed, it should trace the trail the sun leaves across the horizon each day. I’m starting near solstice, so I should have an every higher track as we head through Winter and into Spring. I’m thinking of leaving it up for 6 months.

For me, this is reminiscent of Clayton Bailey‘s piece that featured a magnifying glass that burns a similar streak across a piece of wood. (Sorry I can’t find a pic.) I really admired that but was unwilling to set that up in my backyard.
