88 Into 89
Working with Acrylic paints under water in a single image printing technique
Working with Acrylic paints under water in a single image printing technique
A detail of a larger piece titled Chopper shows how two pigments, one blue and the other yellow, break down and spread in the water bath. The effect is then captured in time in the print process.
An image can emerge and be captured by chance. The face of a snarling wolf comes to mind.

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.
