SchmueyVision in a Virtual Gallery

SchmueyVision in a Virtual Gallery Tube. Duration : 2.27 Mins.


"SchmueyVision in a Virtual Gallery" is a short video featuring "Nearly Still Lifes" from my 2005 Collection. These so called 'still lifes' are images created before the camera while the camera shutter was open for several seconds. I would paint light in front of the lens in various forms and colors with hand held LEDs and a laser pointer. There were no post production enhancements added from software such as PhotoShop in any of these collections. I started doing this technique back in 1974 with 35mm Kodachrome film and have several collections under various names. In 1985 I did the "Photon" collection under the name Max Luxstein which was shown in various shows around the USA. Collections made after 1984 were executed with a Nikon FM2 camera. In 2005 I switched to a Nikon Coolpix 8800 (digital camera) which was used in the collection featured in this video. The opening shot is the exception, it's actually a plasma sphere device I got at Target many years ago.
