The Invisible Mother ~ whatever works for you when you're taking the photograph...but this is so odd!!!
‘This was a practice where the mother, often disguised or hiding, often under a spread, holds her baby tightly for the photographer to insure a sharply focused image.’

Lloyd Godman
Lloyd Godman created this magical light show in a greenhouse at Montsalvat in 2007.
He covered the windows of the lighthouse with large sheets of carbon paper, onto which was a landscape scene ~ made by punching holes into the paper with a nail (highly labour intensive!)
When a viewer entered the greenhouse, an automatic timer would set off lights and fog effects...creating this beautiful effect~ 'Camera Obscura'

These photographs by Michael Wesely of New York’s Museum of Modern Art have an exposure time of three years:
“In 2001, Wesely installed cameras overlooking the surrounding buildings. The resulting photographs—some completed as late as June 2004—present the extensive transformation of the site. The passage of time is rendered in delicate, translucent layers, as existing structures were demolished and new ones rose in their place. Instead of a momentary glimpse presented as fact and just as quickly consumed, Michael Wesely’s photographs for MoMA offer an experience in which past and present are intertwined elements of an evolving proposition”
