I was scanning some tax paperwork (kind of boring) and got wondering what I could put on the scanner just for fun. Here’s a few of the results.<\/p>\n

(technical note: the image files were huge so I’ve scaled them down a lot and did a little cropping. Other than that, there not “shopped” at all)<\/p>\n

Some stuff I found around the office –<\/p>\n

\"paintbrush\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"clips\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"sticks\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I crumpled up some plastic wrap and put it between the platen and an old family photo for a neat effect –<\/p>\n

\"plasticWrap\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had to try a CD and DVD next –<\/p>\n

\"ODscan\"<\/a>That’s way more cool than what was on the discs in the first place.<\/p>\n

I wanted to try something that wasn’t so flat. I have a lot of owl figurines (People are always giving me owls). Here’s one –<\/p>\n

\"owl1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another one –<\/p>\n

\"owl2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These owls are made of birdseed –<\/p>\n

\"birdseed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried rolling one of the birdseed owls, tracking the scanner bar as it scanned –<\/p>\n

\"rolledBirdseed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It gets stranger. I had to try the same thing with my hand –<\/p>\n

\"HandScan\"<\/a> I had to try that again –<\/p>\n

\"handscan2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, I just cupped my hand, placing fingertips and wrist against the platen –<\/p>\n

\"handcup\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll be looking for some more ideas.\u00a0 That’s my story, dammit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
