SOUTH STATION:

South Station (Scanner Camera) from Michael Golembewski on Vimeo

"A short animation loop created at South Station, in Boston, MA, with an early scanner camera."

THE SCANNER CAMERA:



"Several years ago, I built my first homemade digital camera. The idea was simple - I would take an ordinary flatbed scanner, and use it in place of photo paper with a large format camera."

I've never been a huge fan of digital photography, probably for more petty than worthwhile reasons, but this is really clever and fantastic.

well, it's one thing to emulate something (standard analog photography) and its something else to create an entirely new medium...

I really enjoy this guy's work because he's creating something more fluid and temporally aware than shutter based photography.
