After discovering how expensive it is to have slides made up from digital files I have printed the contact lens photos on acetates to test out the format of using the carousel slide projector without having to spend a lot. It looks as if the quality might not be the best with the images having to be so small - I can see the pixels with my naked eye so it will probably be very obvious once enlarged on the projector. 



I love the associations that are made when this is held against the sky... a planet in space, or a moon in the clouds? A friend also has said that it reminds her of a cell, which I really like and hadn't thought of before. Cells make me think of identity, and as we discussed in my Death Cafe, a contact lens is an identity object, very personal to the person. How curious, that one image can be both a planet and a single cell.
