Taking+Pictures+With+Your+Scanner

When I was scanning some Man Ray photographs, an idea occurred to me: "You should try scanning your face...just for fun. See how it turns out." So I did, along with my hands:





I am really intrigued by how these photographs came out and I am interested in trying more like these. I like how it seems like I am trapped by technology, trapped inside it. It would be cool to explore the negative sides of technology as an extension of my first portfolio, as technology of course isn't all happy-go-lucky-let's-all-play-together-in-the-machine. These are 60dpi but my scanner can scan up to 600dpi, so I am interested in seeing if the results still come out as creepy with higher quality.

Gerald, is this something portfolio-worthy? Using the scanner in a more creative way? If I don't hear from you soon I'll send you an email. Comments are greatly appreciated!
