First try using what I think is a Petzval lens made by Nicholas Power Co. from New York. It seems like it could be from a Magic Lantern or early projector. Based on my research they were either at the one address in New York from 1918-1920 or the company only existed from 1918-1920. If anyone knows a little more about this lens I'd be interested. Based on a catalogue I found online it could have been the lens from their 6A projector but it doesn't match the lens in that catalogue exactly. There is a bit of haze (maybe even mold) between the lens elements but my tools are packed away now in preparation for moving so cleaning it up anymore than what I have done already is going to have to wait until after we move.
A while back I became fascinated with Nick Veasey's xray photography. I figured there must be a way I could create images with a similar end result but bypassing the need for the actual technology (and all the radiation that comes with it).
So while I was taking apart my Kaossilator to fix, I figured I would give this a try. To start, I took images of each of the individual parts. I then turned all of the images to b&w and inverted them. I then brought all of the images into one file as separate layers and began to align them while adjusting the opacity of each. After a bit of experimenting and some touching up, this is what I came up with.
Next project will be doing this with a camera I'm planning to take apart to convert to infrared. No promises as to when I'll get that up here though.

Music was a major part of King Solomons life from day one. His fathers extensive record collection, ranging from the sweet Soul/R&B sounds of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind And Fire and Sly and the Family Stone to the classic Salsa Grooves of the 1970s including Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente and Ismael Miranda, would prove to have a huge influence on the young Solomon. At the formative age of 4 he would embark on what has turned into a life-long partnership with the piano. As a teenager King Solomon began studying at the Artists Collective in the Albany Avenue neighborhood of Hartford as well as Guakia, Inc., a Puerto Rican cultural center in the South End of the city. It was at these two institutions that he would begin an intensive study of both Jazz and various forms of Latin music under the tutelage of the late great giant of the Alto Saxophone, Jackie McLean, along with well-known regional musicians such as Joe Velez, Ray Gonzalez and Ed Fast. Throughout high school, Solomon attended the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts where he was afforded the opportunity of performing and studying with the likes of Dave Santoro and Paul Brown. At the age of 19 he was invited to perform in Cuba as a part of Latin Flavor, a band that he had formed along with his brothers Zaccai and Luques. Upon graduating from the Academy, Solomon was awarded a full scholarship to continue his studies at the prestigious Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford under the continued watchful eye of Jackie McLean. This mentorship became a turning point in his continued musical development and growth as McLean not only guided the young musician, but also made him a part of his band, including as part of a performance for then President of the United States, Bill Clinton. While at the Hartt School, he also had an opportunity to study and perform with Steve Davis, Nat Reeves, Andy LaVerne, Michael Weiss and Alan Palmer. In an attempt to gain even more experience, King Solomon also began commuting to Harlem to study with Ronnie Matthews and Barry Harris through the legendary Jazz Mobile Program. While in college, a burgeoning love of Hip-Hop music came into full bloom for the aspiring artist. He began experimenting with beat making, using nothing more than a Korg Triton. It quickly became clear that this was more than an interest for Solomon. He had found his calling. His formal musical training gave him a huge advantage over the majority of his contemporaries, shining through in the creativity and ingenuity of the music that he began to put forth. As he continued his studies in the music he loved, harnessing his skills in the MPC and Pro Tools, King Solomon had an opportunity to craft beats for MCs such as 50 Cent and Cuban Link. His signature sound has made him one of the most in-demand producers in the Tri-State Area. His debut album is a Whos Who of the Hip Hop Industrys compendium of underground talent, featuring local luminaries such as Roy Shivers, A.S.E. Diamonds and Sagacity the Chun-Tzu as well as national names like Immortal Technique, Tragedy Khadafi and Quan of the NAS clan. Dubbed The Big Picture, the album is due out August 1st and is set to turn heads from Boston to Baghdad. Over the years King Solomon has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Jackie McLean, Giovanni Hidalgo, Manny Oquendo, Andy Gonzalez, Nelson Gonzalez, Jimmy Greene, Steve Davis, Nat Reeves, Eric McPherson, Alan Palmer and Abraham Burton to name a few.
