Many images on this site were scanned on an HP
Scanjet 3200C.
I scanned objects with the scanner lid open (usually at night) to get black
backgrounds.
All of this started out as a fun experiment. Then it became a mild obsession.
I've even scanned myself.
At times I get a little carried away with special effects, like with these dandelions I picked in my back yard.
But most of the time I make relatively minor adjustments to blacken backgrounds and accentuate natural colors.
My favorite image is probably my cat, Poe.
I enticed her to the scanner by putting a few pieces of Cat Chow on the
surface. Much to my surprise,
she hopped right up, started eating, and kept her body still enough to get this:
No creatures were harmed for this site....not even the spider.
After I scanned her, I released her into the woods.
People tell me that was stupid.
Guilty as charged.
I found these in an abandoned nest in my back yard. I think they're wren eggs.
I'm fairly certain this is a robin's egg.
Thank you for visiting.
