Scanner photography
Every once and a while I stumble across something truly innovative. Recently in my web surfing (on Slashdot) I came across a site called Scanner Photography. The concept and method of producing his photographs I find very inspiring. His approach of using a custom made camera utilizing a scanner results in images that are simply stunning. This guy’s work is one of the few collections of photographs recently that has really made me stop and think about them. All too often photographs end up being things that are simply snapshots that have little artistic depth (Not that it’s a bad thing though). Even with extraordinary photographs, the images end up being simply things that are pleasing to the eyes, without much depth to them. I found this person’s work to be so refreshing in that it makes you think about what you’re seeing, and evaluate what is going on in the photograph. So needless to say I recommend checking out his site... however, you may want to try one of his mirrors since he is currently experiencing the negative effects of being slashdotted and needing to find a way to pay for the insane amount of bandwidth that was used by visitors.
