I zoomed into the full image to try and figure out what was wrong with the image. I had to zoom deeper and deeper into the image to find what I was looking for. If you look at a normal digital image at extreme zoom you usually see colored squares that change slowly and gently as the image colors change. When I zoomed into this image I found wild mechanical patterns rather than clumps of similar colors. It meant my camera was broken. But I became fascinated as I ÒwanderedÓ through this zoomed in world by the strange patterns. This portfolio is the result of extracting minut sections of just one image. In fact they are all ÒphotographsÓ from one single image taken with my camera.
