Alternative Digital Photography

The Temporal Hyperplane Photograph I use a flatbed scanner attached to a 1940's era 4x5 field camera. The scanner photograph offers an image, which, in addition to being inherently three dimensional, reveals the fourth dimension in a unique way. Each exposure occurs over a number of minutes, or as little as one minute. The opposite ends of the image are captured at entirely different moments in time, not all at once as in a typical photograph, thus the 'Temporal Hyperplane'. It is important to stress that the scanner images on this website were captured just as they now appear and have not been 'photoshopped' other than to adjust the levels for tonal value. Artifacts such as stripes and lines may seem like errors in the print but are in fact characteristics of an image made with a very heavily modified scanner.
