No one can be perfectly moral till all are moral;
No one can be perfectly happy till all are happy:"

The Preacher, Painting with Light Projection Photography with Kodachrome Transparencies by John Neville Cohen

'The Preacher' is one of John Neville Cohen's Painting with Light photographs. Created using projection photography and Kodachrome transparency film, the portrait was projected onto the edge of the pages of a book, that were used as a screen and then photographed with other books, without digital manipulation or darkroom effects.

This photograph is an example of his unique technique, using only light and film to create special effects, even on colour reversal film! Developed by John Neville Cohen using his 'Magic Lantern' projection methods that allow everything to be seen in the viewfinder.
