The Breast Scan Project

The Story:

People have been photocopying themselves on the copy machine at work for decades. However, photocopy machines usually turn out a very poor representation of the person/object being copied. This got me thinking about my flatbed scanner. I decided to try scanning a person but I wanted to use a subject that would appeal to all of my readers. So, over the period of one week I had five different lovely ladies over and successfully scanned– what else? Their breasts!

The scans that you see below were the original five breast scans that I created back in September of 1997. My goal in creating these scans was to inspire my readers to create breast scans of their own—and that’s exactly what happened! So many of my readers responded that I created a gallery so others could appreciate them. I’ve since closed the Breast Scan Project but all of those scans can still be seen below in the Reader’s Scans section.
