My right palm, photocopied moving

Ever since photocopying machines became common, I have been interested
in the images I can get on them, using ordinary stuff as originals.
Over 35 or 40 years, I've done lots of images of my face and my hands.

When you move something being photocopied, it can elongate or shorten
it in -- I think -- wonderful ways. Here is my right palm, pulled
along with the machine's scanning light thus elongating my hand. My
fingers are at the left and my wrist is at the right. I can see a
scar from an operation done on my hand in 2001.

I made this photocopy about five years ago and I ran across it today
while cleaning up my office.
