In college we had a few assignments to create an image without the use
of a camera. Our professor took us into the darkroom, pulled out a piece
of light sensitive paper and started screaming into the middle of it. He
put the paper into the developer and we all watched an image appear. A sort
of amorphic black and gray blob in the middle where the paper was verbally
assaulted. I ended up burning old art works and using the ashes to create
a piece. He was one of my favorite professors! Shane, you were great!
Today, I bring you a couple of scannergrams. From Man Ray to the modern day.
