Saw this on the chromasia site and I think it is one of your best. Reminds me of Hockney's joiners. Have you tried to do the Hockney joiner thing digitally?

No, but I did this about 15 yrs ago in my darkroom.


and this was the original Tea Man that I did about the same time. I like the new version much better.

In the case of the original Tea Man were the component rectangles cut from the same image and pasted on? - I assume these are not individual images, as with a Hockney joiner.

I love the effect and have always thought that this technique adds a feeling of time to the picture - which is how Hockney described it.

In the original images above, I would go to the darkroom and tape about 100 pieces of paper on the wall overlapping each other a bit and then expose the image and when I took them down, I would number the back then develop them and then when dry, tape it back together.

Right now I browse through the images of the last years and new idea evolve (often surprising)

Thanks. For your information they are all just done with my scripts. Working on some helper scripts though.
What interested me was the subject matter and somewhat abstract quality. I think blends work best with this sort of subject and dreamy landscapes of course.

Yes, it works best where it softens the literal representation. Also often some more disturbing elements in the literal picture get less annoying.

This was originally shot as B&W single images. I then did a Polaroid transfer of each image on to a sheet of paper. Then I added some textures.
