an informal review),
The camera used to make this image was created from an Nikon film
camera body & desktop scanner, utilizing the sensor (4000x1) & the
electronics of the scanner. Software was rewritten to remove unneeded
parts (scanner motor) and adjust for infinite paper size. The subject
was rotated on a large (46") lazy-susan at approximately 1 rev per
min. Two complete revolutions are show in in the picture.
This image is part of a larger body of on going creation of slit-scan
works.
