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.

Pete Eckert is blind. But through his photography, he proves that he is a visual person who just can’t see.
A truly inspiring portrait of this artist presented by Artists Wanted.

Undercity is the brainchild of Steve, an urban historian and photographer who appears in this film produced by Andrew Wonder, practising what he calls Guerilla History & Urban Exploration in the hidden layers of New York city, be it underground, crawling through century-old sewer systems, exploring abandoned subway stations or above ground catching a breath-taking view of the city from the top of bridge towers.
All accompanied by the great DJ Shadow’s turntables.
The above is a short 3 minute teaser of the excellent 28 minute official film I highly recommend watching. Enjoy!
I had stumbled upon this image a while ago and remembered being amazed by the ghostly atmosphere Alexey Titarenko created by the long exposure photography combined with the gritty appearance of urban St. Petersburg. Have a look at the rest of his City of Shadows series and more of his work over at the Nailya Alexander Gallery.
