Slip Slidin’ Away via Make

image

So you invested in a slide scanner and digitized all your beautiful kodachromes and fuji velvia.

Now you’re left with a whole pile of slides that you don’t want to throw away but plan to put in the loft along with 40 bottles of aged volatile toxic and dangerous darkroom chemicals, kit that you’ve used and forgotten why you bought it plus 20 rolls of film in old fridge that you;re certain you will use ‘someday’.

How about you make a lamp? A great article on artist Michael Marcovici’s work appears on Make Magazine’s blog. Michael takes old slides and creates amazing lamps as artworks.
