Light Traces
New Light Traces
Noel came in for a Light Traces session this weekend. After experimenting with light traces for a long time I was excited to work with a POI artist! He is also a math teacher and I learned to know him through our hands-on teacher workshops here at the Explo.
Have a look at the first pictures we did (on flickr). The theme is “geometry” – which is also the topic of the exhibits I am currently working on. Click on the picture to see more samples and instructions:
