Frozen by Jim Goodin

I'm displaying a selection of pinhole photographs during February at the Grackle Art Gallery in Ft Worth (TX). I created these electro-acoustic pieces to accompany the display of my photographs, to be played as an occasional background and in conjunction with other musical artists performing in the February 8th opening evening. If you are local to Ft Worth on the evening of the 8th please stop by the Grackle to see my 4 silver gelatin photographs along with visual works by other artists. Additionally there will be live performances by several local musicians. Otherwise you can stop by and view my work there throughout the month! Special thanks to Kavin and Linda of the Grackle for including me!

During the pandemic I experienced a return to analog photography which I had done fairly extensively in the 80's. I came back to it when I realized film was not dead. I began working with a view camera and after about a year got inspired by pinhole and have pretty much stayed with that technique, working with the view camera with a .5mm pinhole instead of a lens. I expose either film or paper negative and make prints with an enlarger and tray line chemistry. Not yet alive I am planning an Etsy store to sell my prints. Follow me on Instagram at jim_goodin.

I used to think of myself as a musician but as time goes I think of myself more a sound maker.

I've always come to music with some degree of struggle, at times worrying I was 'tone deaf' and often going to great lengths to confirm that I wasn't. I'm not sure that ever mattered.

I play at several instruments, lap steel guitar and others, modular synth, tape loops and Pure Data.
