Prints offer fascinating surface



Floating just below the surface of the water, photographer Chajana denHarder appears little more than a blob of pink in many of her self photographs. In others, she captures herself as one or both of her legs kicks through the surface, sending up violent plumes of water. She is never pictured treading water or doing a backstroke - it's the surface of the water that fascinates her.

And in a current show of her work at Anacostia's Gallery at Vivid Solutions, it's the surfaces of her prints that are so fascinating, whether she knows it or not. Photos from two series form a study of how noise works in digital photography - both the hazard it represents and the tool it can be in a smart photographer's hands.
