The transition in photography from analog to digital in the early 2000’s offered new photographic possibilities. I was able to utilize a film scanner that captured both sides of the microslide at the same time. The plant and animal matter were thereby sandwiched in the light, giving the image a translucent appearance. My most recent technique involves a digital camera attached to a trinocular microscope. I am now able to capture a form in multiple sections and then stitch it back together digitally to create large photographic prints. These magnified photographs reveal an unseen, hidden world of complex forms, textures, and bright, vibrant colors.
