A PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE

Laser Light

LASER: Light amplified by the stimulated emission of radiation. In the process electricity is used to change the orbit of an electron as it moves around an atom. The resulting laser light, and the diffraction patterns it makes when it interferes with itself are in focus from zero to infinity. Objects in the pattern tend to loose their appearance of depth. The pure light images were made by photographing the light of argon and helium neon lasers through a rear projection screen. These images were made in 1968 when the laser was a new kind of light.
