Quienes Somos - ANDARA. Fotografía erótica y desafiante de Nobuyoshi Araki. A Very Unusual Camera That Emphasizes Time Over Space. Jay Mark Johnson. The abstract-seeming images here are not the result of some wacky Photoshopping. Jay Mark Johnson’s photos are actually incredibly precise. The reason they look like this is because he uses a slit camera that emphasizes time over space. Whatever remains still is smeared into stripes, while the motion of crashing waves, cars and a Tai Chi master’s hands are registered moment by moment, as they pass his camera by.

Like an EKG showing successive heartbeats, the width of an object corresponds not to distance or size, but the rate of movement. Yes, it’s a confusing concept. This unique look is possible because the fixed-position slit camera registers only a vertical sliver of a scene. If you are still having trouble with this idea, try cutting out a tiny slit of paper and holding it up to your eye. He says he opts for this unusual camera because he wants to hold a mirror to human nature, that expands our view of reality. More Photo Features You May Enjoy.
