“One of the first settlers on Mars set up a micro web cam looking south. Away from the glare of the sun. A view of rocks, a nearby ridge and a more distant caldera. A time lapse took pictures at different times of the Mars day. At first sharp and pristine the lens cover was scratched by dust storms and seldom cleaned. The images slowly deteriorated. The most recent image is st the top.”
Notes
After my testing at 0096 (not everything is shown there) I was inspired to do a series of prints and put them into a poster.
This shows all the prints under this design, with the original print being repeated a number of times, and so with different inking coming out differently. Each was then coloured individually.
