behind the scanners studio
long before hearing of HNT - off an idea from a buddy i started to scan myself, some of my parts, my cat, my boyfriend some random shit.
this is the first scan i did (not the first posted)
in order to insure an honest depiction of this process these photos are a play by play/re-enactment of what goes on behind the scenes. prepare to be awed. i decided to re-enact the first scan i attempted with adam on the camera.
i use an hp psc 1315 all-in-one printer scanner copier
i have pulled the scanner forward to leave room for my elbows. here i am opening photoshop
waiting for shit to load, preparing myself mentally. *please note to the left the hockey puck i use for a paper weight. personally i don’t think it gets any more Canadian than that*
i allow the scanner to do its first pass blank because if my face was used and it ROCKED and i was to accept it and move funny and fuck it up, that would suck. plus that way i don’t have to blind myself twice. this photo is so exciting i just grabbed my boob.
here i am removing my glasses and placing them on the table to my right that you jerks can’t see. i have scanned myself with a pair of sunglasses on but not with my regular nerd specks.
my body placement is extremely important. i demand very quick access to the mouse so that when i press accept i can spring instantly into position.
if this photo is not self explanatory i am going to have to ask you to leave my website.
here i am waiting for it to load into photoshop so i can see if it sucks or not. *here if you look super close you can see it is a Todd Bertuzzi puck*(well i can tell it is)
see it? i like it!
the finished product

Such imagination should not be wasted! Go GLOBAL!
August 3rd, 2005 at 2:05 pm
Oh I forgot!!!!May the puck be with you! Scan it between you jerky cheeks! Yeah…that’s the ticket! Go SCANNER!

i thought you sat around in the nood? not in tank tops and baggy shorts…
August 3rd, 2005 at 2:36 pm
i do, but that is for adam’s eyes only! and i guess the neighbors
also this behind the scenes project was conducted while my mother was here, rarely, well never to be honest, do i hang out in just my underwear when being visited by either parent.
i am wearing a golf outfit here, it is a skirt (not baggy at all), and a lacoste tank top, suitable for a real course even.
i hope you find this answer satisfactory
August 3rd, 2005 at 2:46 pm
well you golf goddess you!
August 3rd, 2005 at 2:54 pm
here is an example of how lame and girly i can be: the outfit i was in when i started the project was pj shorts and a super old white tank top. you could see the sweat stains on the pits in the pictures and it was gross and i knew geezer or someone would be like GROSS SWEATY PANTS…IF SWEAT IS ENOUGH…or something..SO i was like HEY i didn’t get any pictures in my favorite golf outfit i am SO going to wear it.
i refuse to pay A LOT of money for lacoste stuff when the only reason i like it is cause it has gators on it and i hate being nikes bitch when it comes to athletic wear..i buy it super cheap on ebay. real ones still but super cheap.
if a companies logo is obvious on a piece of clothing i will rarely wear it.

yes.. i prefer NOT being a commercial whore.
commercialism doesn’t lick pussy like it should.

I’m glad to hear that you usually do this sort of thing half-nekkid. I was getting disappointed by seeing the clothes in the pictures. Thanks for the step by step instructions!
Now if you could do the same thing showing us how you did the ass shot–that’s gotta be hilarious!
August 3rd, 2005 at 3:47 pm
Thanks. Just thanks. Awesome stuff as usual.
August 3rd, 2005 at 4:20 pm
you know, its eerie…. this montage looks exactly like the storyboard for [b]the Net[/b]. stunning.
August 3rd, 2005 at 5:09 pm
If you don’t stop doing that you will go blind and hair will grow in your hand. No…that isn’t right, is it?
August 3rd, 2005 at 6:22 pm
That is way too much work. I bet you even have a job and shower and stuff. All in one day. Wow.
August 3rd, 2005 at 6:45 pm
i knew it would be a creative process. i fucking knew it. it’s like a beautiful jerkette ritual, minus the aromatherapy. i also adore how you look sideways. not as much as i like the front, but there you go.

a post-modern narrative — we see you on a screen seeing yourself on a screen. i think i just got mindfucked by you . . . and I liked it.
August 3rd, 2005 at 7:04 pm

August 3rd, 2005 at 7:39 pm

August 3rd, 2005 at 10:04 pm
This is sort of unique (and interesting) stuff.
August 3rd, 2005 at 11:17 pm

nice, very artsy. ethereal and all that.
August 4th, 2005 at 9:00 am
What an excellent little tour into the mind of a mad scientist. Make sure you don’t hurt your eyes though! We don’t want our mad scanner going blind.
August 4th, 2005 at 9:01 am
COOL!
I’m gonna use my scanner for evil too!
August 4th, 2005 at 9:53 am
hah! i love it! and i love the blow-by-blow… huh huh.
August 4th, 2005 at 2:22 pm
Play by play…yes…I do love it!
August 4th, 2005 at 7:18 pm
I had mucho love for your scans before, but now you’re a goddess.
August 5th, 2005 at 3:26 am
That is such a badass scan. Great Hnt.
August 5th, 2005 at 5:28 am
Great first photo.. It kinda looks like you are ‘on top’ getting your rocks off… My mind is in the gutter again. Think I’ll leave it there for a bit
August 5th, 2005 at 8:56 am
Thats awesome! You totally Rock!
August 8th, 2005 at 6:24 pm
that is so cool, letting us in on the whole process. love the finished product.
very creative you are.
August 15th, 2005 at 9:16 pm
Woohoo! Love it! I agree with Os. We wanna see a reenactment of the butt-scan process, complete with green boxers.
Good onyer Corinna.
