scanner photography

The Scanner Photography Project - the guy uses a scanner in a large format camera. because the scanner takes 15 seconds to 5 minutes to move across the picture, it takes some pictures with a really neat perspective on time. for example, if the scanner scans horizontally, cars going by will be shortend to vertical lines. if the scanner scans vertically, then people will be portrayed as slanted horizontal lines—with the slope of the line showing how fast the person was moving.
