Cameraless photo art

Who needs a camera?

I just threw a few things onto my scanner, dropped a towel on top of it all, and voila...digital photos. The prints didn't turn out too crappy, either.

One more....

I think it's too dark for the web, interesting technique though, never dream of taking picture using a scanner.

If you're refering to the third one I put up, it did darken it to make it a tad more sinister...

Here is the original. There is a big ugly line in it where the scanner paused and I moved letting in light under the towel. Gonna keep tinkering...

This is funny.
I completely forgot, but I remember making a scan of my hand under a black T-shirt and using that for an advertising about 10 years ago. Digital camera's we had never heard of in those days LOL

One more...this one qualifies as darkside, I think...

 

[jeroen]

Cool. That's the best in the series IMO
I'm curious what it may look like in B/W.

 

[jeroen]

LOL very arty...

 

[Efergoh]

did someone say black and white?

Here ya go...

I let the scanner run its "preview" to determine what it was scanning with nothing on it. The scanner precieved it as a black and white photo...
The print looks a hell of a lot better. For some reason when I reduce the dimensions of the B&W they get all pixelated...

excellent work. I saw the prints and they do look good.

okay...last one...I have to get ready for class.

Wow, what a great way to waste an afternoon and get nothing done!
