Tamir Sher, Velazquez on45s.

"... I realize that the digital era is very primitive. For me there is no hierarchy between daguerreotype and digital contemporary photograph," writes Hey, Hot Shot entrant Tamir Sher.

Sher goes on to explain that, "The circle work is images from new work in progress called 'Masters on 45.' I took my old record player and decided to use it in my work before I threw it away. I put a reproduction of an old masters painting and my son's superheroes on it and take pictures in a variable speeds. I like how the low-tech record player connects and mix between old and contemporary. Create new representation."

Okay. I can see that. But now the cryptic part: "It is all in the photograph, the technique needs to be perfect but concealed."

So how did he do it? How much, if any, digital manipulation, did he use? And does that matter?
