I have the natural ability to stitch and HOLD images in my working memory, Area46, which was mapped by neurologists decades ago. I&#8217;ve always seen what I&#8217;m able to depict today. The challenge was to be able to leverage technology to record it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our eyes and brains play tricks on us constantly. My technique captures what physically occurs, as opposed to what we perceive to happen when an object like a car passes us on the street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My PHLOTO46 images are shot in REAL TIME as the car drives by. The stretched images are created using a SINGLE shutter click of about two seconds.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These images have <strong>NOT<\/strong> been Photo-shopped other than to make minor adjustments to contrast, exposure, and focus. It is also <strong>NOT<\/strong> Ai software.  The motion effects are created in-camera in real time<em>. The tricked-out VW BUG above, <\/em>actually drove<em> by the Porsche 356 Roadster parked on the street as I took the shot. It was all I could do to grab the scene as it coasted by.<\/em> Timing is everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I began experimenting with kinetic photography several years ago using 35mm gear that had a stitch feature for panoramas. I also experimented with phone cameras that had two lenses\u2013<em>one facing the subject, and the other the photographer<\/em>. I worked with a tech engineer to hack the back lens so it could track my eye movement and identify the exact place on the frame I was looking. Our idea was to weight the camera to favour the areas where my eyes tracked. It worked, but it wasn&#8217;t fast enough, and in order to increase the speed we would have had to incorporate a bulky piece of hardware, which is counterproductive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a couple of years of only nominal results, I realized that I was getting very good at hacking my camera respective of HOW I moved it in its physical space. In a sense, it&#8217;s like playing a guitar or piano\u2013<em>you get better the more you practice<\/em>. I&#8217;ve invested countless hours experimenting with and modifying the phloto46 technique, which has essentially, evolved to an operations hack.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can now visualize a scene as a vehicle approaches, and within less than two seconds choose the elements I want to feature, i.e., a grill or wheel, etc., and place them in a creative KINETIC FLOW that I create in real time while the shutter is still open and cycling. In the early years I would shoot hundreds of images and only find maybe one worth the effort. Today, my shooting rate is close to 100%. The image might not be exactly what I envisioned, but it is close, or it turns out to be something truly amazing that wasn&#8217;t necessarily part of my initial plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is ART after all, and there has to be some latitude built into the process to make it exciting, or why do it? The whole point for me is that <strong>PHLOTOGRAPHY46tm<\/strong>, as it relates to FLOW in REAL TIME and SPACE, delivers a new visceral experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard now to not look at moving objects as flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The residual energy of movement is not as fleeting as we often imagine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large is-style-default\"><img
