Soundcamp 2015 Stave Hill Ecology Park Rotherhithe London Part 3: International Contributors
Due to the fact there are so many contributions from other sites around the globe I have decided to split the post for Soundcamp 2015 into three parts. As part of this years event a growing number of participants were sent a Solargraph tube which included, from myself the 35mm homemade matchbox pinhole camera which used Ilford film. It also contained within a dark bag a sheet of Ilford grade 1 or 4 10 x 8 darkroom paper. Instructions were also given to explain how to use the pinhole camera and also how to place and use the paper within the empty Solargraph tube. This was going to be an interesting project as for the most part the participants were audio artists and were not familiar with strange photographic practices. My expectations were mixed but optimistic for the most part. I imagined something had to be recorded even if it was abstract.
The tubes were sent out to the various venues with some late additions joining in for the fun.
The tubes were sent to; Upper Hudson River, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Toronto, Canada; Jeju Island, South Korea; Tartu County, Estonia; Santorini, Greece; Vitanje, Slovenija; Fortore Valley, Italy and Niolon, France
Each of these sites were given a code number and I hoped that something would come back. It took a while for them all to be returned and some were not used, which though a shame was understandable given the vast amount that is involved in just setting up the audio aspect of the event. I hope to have a full complement for next year.
The results from each participant, in whatever form will be shown below, these will first include the solargraph for that area and then the pinhole film. In some cases the solargraph paper has either not picked up anything or has possibly been loaded incorrectly, these have still been scanned when received just in case. The results form the pinhole cameras were much more rewarding.

Tube 2: NAISA, Toronto, Canada, not returned yet
Tube 3: Vothonas, Santorini, Thira, Greece, Mazi Soundcamp (5006) paper and film used
Tube 4: CONA, Ljubljana, Slovenia, unused and returned
Tube 5: Wave Farm, Acra, Upper Hudson, New York, USA, unused and returned
Tube 6: Radius, Chicago, Illinois, USA, (5003), paper and film used
