I am interested in alternative photography lenses for digital camera bodies. I use a zone plate since it creates a flare or halo around the object. Cosmic Twins is my idea to use Victorian flatware to make stick figures. Portraits of small figures glow due to refracted light from thousands of little scratches in the metal. The forms are engaging in their robotic form and strangely comforting to construct. Using old world components to create twentieth century friends brings these objects to life glowing up at me.
