A good photocopier is a wonderful tool for artists. I have some photos of the moon, seen through long grass, that I use over and over again. Every now and then I spend some time and money playing with our work photocopier. At only $1 for a colour copy, it’s a bargain.
Playing with the photocopier means thinking about things like; how would this look as a negative? With the saturation turned right up? With the green turned right down? Black and white with very high contrast?
Recently I copied a dozen pages of the same three photos. This picture is just one photo of the three on a page – so for only $12 I have 36 reference images. Cool, I hear you say, but why not just mess round in Photoshop? Well, I do that too, but there’s something about seeing the immediate result come out of the copier, and then adjusting my choices accordingly, that is more satisfying and useful to me than only seeing the image on screen.

Looks great, like an alien landscape 🙂 . I agree with you about photoshop, things always seem different when they are tactile!
