Back in the early 1980s when we weren't shooting holograms we used to shoot lasers. I would use slow times in the laser lab to create artistic laser light creations for photography and video. This is one of my favorites. Unlike most people doing laser shows with fast moving beams, I preferred to find unique effects that pushed the medium in new ways not seen before. In this I'm as ge, I used a big water cooled argon ion laser for the blues and green and a large frame Helium Neon laser for red. My hand model (Joanne) is holding a length of flexible optical fiber that is laser lit from its end off screen to give it the feel of neon. This image became very popular and was used in many places.
