When I make my cyanotype photogram “astrofauxtographs,” I often think about the achingly beautiful images made by space probes, such as this one taken of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, by the Cassini spacecraft.
I know they’re meant to be scientific documents. And if you dig through NASA’s photo archive you’ll see plenty of unspectacular photographs with loads of useful data. They’re the result of a specific observation of a subject from a certain angle.
Generally, they don’t sing. But sometimes, they do.
What a universe we live in!
