Help Sheila Bocchine, Pinhole Photographer get to Korea!
5 Mar
Hello!!
I have some really, really, really exciting news! I will be moving to Korea to teach English in a few months. It all seems a little surreal, but it’s happening very quickly. So my pinhole camera and I will be exploring an amazing culture, learning a new language, teaching, trying new foods, and documenting everything in pinhole!
I need to raise $1500 before I leave so if you’d like to help me reach my goal here are a few ways you can help!
***HOME SALE!*** I will be having a sale at my apartment on Sunday March 29th from 9am-6pm. I’m selling everything! My address is 4950 East Van Buren, Apt 180 (near the pool), Phoenix, Arizona, 85008. You can park in front or across the street at the post office.

***Pinhole Portraits***
I’m offering pinhole portraits for $100. If you’ve ever wanted to get your portrait done, now is the time! Check out my pinhole portrait portfolio on my website. Having your pinhole portrait taken is a photographic experience, a fanciful interpretation of life. The energy of your soul dances onto film with sunbursts, subtle motion and interesting angles.
You’ll recieve all 5×5 proof prints, and CD of hi-res scans for easy printing.
***Buy a pinhole photograph***
I have a selection of prints on my Etsy shop that are available.
If you would like to choose an image from my flickr stream, I can send you an invoice through paypal. Signed pinhole photographs are $25. Shipping within the US is $5, outside of the US is $12.
***Donation***
I have set up a paypal donation service, so if you’d like to donate $1 or more towards my goal of $1500, that would super spectacular! I’ll make sure to pay-it-forward in a random act of kindness!
Thank you so much for helping me reach my goal! I’d appreciate your help in spreading this information!
Love,
Sheila
Hi Sheila. That’s really great about your upcoming adventure in Korea. I’d like to buy one of your pinhole photos to help with the trip. I’ll contact you off line.
Hey Sheila,
My name is Dave Dillon and I came across your post on dave’s esl cafe. i’m going to teach in suwon in may, as well. i’m a recent grad looking to take a gap year from this bullshit rut of reality.
i’d really like to make some connections before i head over there. what school will you be joining? have you been there before? is this your first time teaching esl?
hopefully we can correspond through some e-mails and perhaps catch a bite to eat in suwon! my e-mail is drd3602@alum.uncw.edu …hope to hear from you soon!
all best,
dave
e-mail me back if you’d like
