In older forms of photography, the glass served as the negative, or served as the transfer medium sometimes with paper positives, etc. I created a unique scanography process where I turned a scanner into a camera.  The subject becomes similar to a film "negative" and the image is flattened through digital degradation with a portable wand of light.  

The process I invented started as a mockery of digital photography because I was so pissed about the digital 'takeover'. It also served as a technical tool that allowed me to expand on the foundations of photography and experiment with its role in the digital world.  The portrait process involves the subject entering a scanning 'booth' or pressing up against the glass in order to achieve focus & depth.  The speed at which I move the scanner on the glass and the different combinations of light are a nod to my early teachings of photography as the simple scientific and artistic combination of two things: light and time.

The pieces within this body of work are all created with this technique.  The style of the series is ethereal, yet saturated, capturing the absurdity of life while revealing that our past doesn't have to be our biography, but rather the thought that your perception is your reality.
