Using room-sized cameras, Lutter often inhabits the camera during the exposure which can last hours, days or even weeks. The camera obscura works with the premise that when light passes through a small hole into a darkened chamber it produces an inverted image on the opposite wall. Lutter projects her subjects onto photo-sensitized paper and develops them as unique negatives.

Great stuff. Happy Mapping.
You seem to know me so damn well :)

Nah, don't think so. Although negativ spaces and people have their charm too. ;-)
Moon Darling,
I see you are very drawn into silver images as of late. I have a fascinating photo of a silver moon that I took in a rather strange& scarey antique store that I will post in my next blog. Hope you like the entry thatI posted today.
waiting for your silver moon!
Didn't you find it? I fear it isn't that exciting and somehow I managed to lose all of the strange & ghostly pictures I took. I am going back to the place in a few days to try again.
Someone who creates things with great skill and imagination is an artist and you are a good blogger because this'll have been increasing my curiosity as a readers. Keep up with this blog and you're doing an important contribution, specially if you're an artist. 2j3j
