On the use of flags and geometric shapes in using pinhole technique

I was up at the G.A.R. Cemetery, up at Summit Hill and there were some flags that had blown off the grave and they were just laying on the grass, and it was wet and they were crumpled. It seemed awfully ironic that these flags, at one time, say May the 30th, they were flying over someone's stone, someone's grave, and now in the fall, with the rain, they're just laying in the grass, discarded more or less. And I walked around and I saw numerous flags in the grass, discarded. I thought these would make a kind of a statement that maybe we're discarding certain things that we shouldn't be. And this worked out great. I was able to work maybe 2, 2 _ feet from the flags, real close to the ground, and shoot these flags. But in the meantime, I have such extreme depth of field, if something was in the background, say 30 feet, I was able to get that completely sharp also, and it kind of worked. It kind of worked for certain subjects, you're right. Certain things are square, boxes are square. So you make a square format. Persons, a vertical person, he's walking, he's up and down, so you do� And there's certain subjects you only take with the pinhole too. You don't take anything into the sun because the sun goes into the pinhole and just fogs everything, so you have to take things on a cloudy day or with the sun at your back. You learn after a while, what to take and what to use that particular type of camera for, a certain subject is what it's all about. It's always been that way, really
