# Get 115 Megapixel Pictures With An Inexpensive Digital Camera (scanner)

This weekend I spent some quality time in front of a scanner archiving important documents (yes, in [Wonderfile](http://www.wonderfile.net/)). Our office scanner rarely gets any use these days. With PDFs, vector art, high quality [stock](http://www.technologytranslated.com/2007/10/20/get-115-megapixel-pictures-with-an-inexpensive-digital-camera-scanner/www.istockphoto.com) art, and the growth of digital [photography](http://www.howstuffworks.com/digital-camera.htm), using a scanner is becoming a dying art.

A few [people](http://www.boingboing.net/2002/12/14/katinka-matsons-scan.html) however, have found new uses for these once proud members of a digital artists arsenal. After all, a scanner is essentially a giant digital camera with a ridiculously slow shutter.

Check out Mike Golembewski’s [website](http://golembewski.awardspace.com/) for some really cool scanner based photography. The motion of the environment coupled with the scanners movement creates truly unique and incredible [imagery](http://golembewski.awardspace.com/photographyGallery/index.html), and at very high[resolutions](http://www.hasselbladusa.com/promotions/h3dii.aspx).
