Invisible Light

Invisible Light is a collection of black and white photographs taken over the past several months. They were taken with a specially modified Nikon camera which only records infrared light. The rods and cones on our retinas only respond to visible light, a very narrow slice of the total electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light, which does not trigger our rods or cones, is slightly longer in wavelength than visible red light; it is more abundant in the universe than visible light but is heavily filtered out by our atmosphere. Seeing images made with invisible light makes us consider that our perception of the real world is based solely on our somewhat limited sense organs. Our perception of reality is biased by the limitations of these sensors.
