A great illustration by Belgian artist David Merveille on feelings over nuclear power due to recent mishaps over in Fukushima.
In 1981, Joseph Paul Jernigan was sentenced to death for stabbing and shooting 75-year-old Edward Hale, who discovered him stealing a microwave oven in Texas, USA. He was executed by lethal injection at 12:31 a.m. on August 5, 1993.
His cadaver was sectioned in the axial plane at 1 millimeter intervals and each of the resulting 1,871 slices were photographed for the Visible Human Project at the University of Colorado’s Health Sciences Center.
The images were then put together into this animation above and played fullscreen on a computer, which was moved around by an assistant while being photographed in a dark environment. The resulting images are long-exposure “light paintings” of the entire cadaver. Variations in the movement of the computer during each exposure created differences in the shape of the body throughout the series.

I had found this first image (“Half-Seeing”) in charcoal and ink from the set a while ago and have recently set it as my desktop background. Realising how nice it was, I decided to look the artist up — Nathan Abels is an American artist based in Denver whose artwork reminds me a lot of the kind of photography I like the most.
Some of his work is also available for sale here.
