Scanner art! nice idea to go with a theme...1950's
Scanner art... great idea and nice job with the theme. Roy Campanella, there's a blast from the past! He lived in the town I grew up in. I went to elementary school with one of his kids, though I don't even remember his name. I do remember vividly the day he had his accident though. That was big news in a small town. Of course we were all Dodgers fans and I also remember the outrage when they left Brooklyn. Dem Bums! I think I also had that Matchbook truck. And what kid at the time didn't have a Duncan yo yo and a pocket knife? Guess a slinky and a hula hoop wouldn't fit in the scanner!
I know of people who use scanners for large format digital photography. I think they build a box with a focusing plane? set right on the scanner bed, then use a good lens to focus on it. You can get ridiculously large images like that. Search on the internet, I think there are some DIY projects out there.
