“
New York is a city of endless juxtapositions. In its streets, buildings, parks and rivers, in its neighborhoods, boroughs and blocks, the city conducts an unflagging symphony of collisions. Cultures, religions and ideas cross paths, live side by side, and bounce off each other like the molecules that fill our bodies.
Capturing these collisions, which can range from the delightful to the absurd, in a single image presents a daunting challenge for a photographer. One solution is to use double exposures: taking two distinct photographs on the same piece of film.
The best way to accomplish this is using a large-format camera and sheet film, which can be loaded into the camera, exposed, safely removed, stored and loaded again.
