X-Rays-normally-they reveal the consequences of our follies or sad turns of fate: a deadly tumor, broken arm, a lung clouded by pneumonia. Nobody ever thought of the beauty it could bring to us all. Neither have they thought that x-rays can be used to create something magnificently beautiful.
In his California studio, Albert Koetsier used X-Rays to discover the beauty within flowers themselves. Albert Koetsier is born in Dutch, where he worked as a manager for an X-ray manufacturer. He always had a passion for photography. In his retirement, he combined his two interests (x-ray and photography) together. He built an x-ray device from spare parts (not a project recommended to do) and has spent the last decade taking films of nature, which he calls X-rayographs. Inspired by the beauty of his x-rays images seen in Reader’s Digest January 2004, I decided to search the net for more captivating pictures that will steal your breath away; just like how they stole mine. Here are some that I have found and am sharing with you all (:
Camelia Leaves
Cyclamen
"In shining groups, each stem a pearly ray..." Mary Tacher Higginson
