I wonder why he doesn't fix the image to prevent it being lost in the
scanning process ?
"*Even so, with the length of Chrisman’s exposures, the paper is extremely
overexposed. There is no need to use chemicals to bring up the image. After
so long, it is there on its own and visible to the naked eye. **“If I were
to try to develop the paper in a traditional darkroom, the image would be
lost,” said Chrisman. **Instead, he uses a scanner to capture the image
from the paper, and in doing so, destroys the paper image itself. “The
bright light of the scanner slowly erases the image, inch by inch, as it
captures it.*”"
