Behind the Process.
The abstract backgrounds were shot with a pocket Olympus X-A camera during the mid 1980’s. The shutter would automatically stay open for four seconds in low light situations. After the roll of 35mm Fuji asa 100 film was shot, the filmstrip was carefully rolled back to near the beginning and the process was repeated. Techno was shot, over the years, with various Canon 35mm cameras, along with the the X-A, against a black backdrop. In some cases the dark background was a black cloth or night in an undeveloped moonless landscape. In 2010 these images were scanned with a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000, and edited inside of Photoshop CS3 on a IMac. Big fun at every moment of the creative journey.
