This is the first of three photographs from my "Images From the Dark Side" series shot on Kodak 35mm High Speed Infrared Black and White film. It is a motion photograph of a wind-up music box that stands about 6" high. The texture of infrared gives this image an ethereal quality, I believe, as the tiny horses whirl about their diminutive stage in ghostly dance.
What makes the images of this series unique, I think (aside from their being shot on infrared), is that they were all taken through an opaque #87 Kodak Medical Filter which allowed only infrared radiation to strike the film. This particular filter was often used by medical photographers in years past to record surface venous patterns on patients with varicose veins. It allows no visible light to pass, so the panchromatic (visible light) portion of the emulsion is totally ignored here.
