Once thought to be a phenomenon of the digital photography age, along comes this Pimacs photo from Michigan, circa 1896. This could very well be the first documented Pimacs in the history of photography. A classic stage 1 Orbital Pimacs, and what a find indeed. It also represents our largest Pimacs to date: 13 women in all. Notice the two on the extreme left and bottom right. They seem to be unaffected by the Pimacs effect. As we've seen in previous photos, this could also indicate classic rejection by the pack/herd mentality of the rest of the group.
PIMaCS (pronounced pie-macs) stands for Photo Induced Magnetized Cranium Syndrome. A phenomenon afflicting women that causes their heads to inexplicably draw together when confronted with a camera, even if the frame of the picture allows for personal spacing.

At PIMaCS, we are attempting to share, observe, and study this phenomenon which has seemed to affect millions of women the world over since the start of the 21st Century. We will endeavor to understand this epidemic through theory and conjecture based on the photographic evidence found, as well as defining and cataloging these events so they can be identified.
