THE DELICATE ARCHITECTURE OF OUR GALAXY
All the photographs in this series were created in lakes and ponds on the former land of visionary 18th, 19th and early 20th century female artists, scientists, and intellectuals. The photos were made using several salvaged 120mm Kodak cameras from the 1930s and 1940s. The colors, textures, shapes and multiple layers within the photographs are all created using only the unique aberrations of the cameras’ optics, and the chemistry of the film. There is no software or computer manipulation in the images.
