A teleidoscope is a kind of kaleidoscope. Unlike other kaleidoscopes, teleidoscopes have an open view, so they can be used to form kaleidoscopic patterns from objects outside the instrument, rather than from items installed as part of it. In my photographic experiments some 20 years ago I created a flexible teleidoscope. This allowed me to utilize unlimited reflective planes. I only used a still camera but the concept of a moving picture camera often intrigued me.

The series below is titled Absolute Neon. They are photos I took at an art exhibit of neon sculptures , and sadly I can not give credit to either the artist or the gallery as I noted neither at the time.

I have juiced up the blue on this photo using ArcSoft PhotoImpression 6 software. I used a VuPoint FS-C1-VP scanner to convert the slide to a digital file.

The sculpture its self was an outline of a pink neon Flamingo standing in a pool made of textured plastic lighted blue from below.

Very space like, I consider this a view of a galaxy. The only print I sold from my studies using a flexible teleidoscope was a somewhat similar view. The buyer insisted he also receive the slide so I have no copy.
