Spectral image: created with high energy x-rays from a linear accelerator and visible light from a digital photograph.
Kent Krugh is a gardener and a medical physicist whose attraction to photography includes and extends beyond the visible spectrum. Describing himself as â??by nature inquisitive and experimental,â?? Krugh produces work employing a variety of mechanical and chemical processes and devices in search of images which sustain him. From sensitive, black and white scenes shot through a salvaged Brownie viewfinder, and coffee-toned, hybrid visible light/x-ray images, Krughâ??s photographs celebrate the mystery and majesty of both the natural and man made worlds.
