ENTRY DESCRIPTION
"MONUMENT VALLEY" taken in Arizona with my 35mm film camera applying the double exposure technique using a 400 ISO Black & White film is part of my four year ECLECTIC series of double exposure photographs of Street Environments of different cities, countryside and beaches from around the world. Where each city has its own distinctive pace of elements, circumstances, colours; an array of miscellanea that shape what we call memory; a human quality as ephemeral as ever-changing. All pictures where taken with a 35mm and 120mm film camera using colour and black & white film, applying the double exposure technique, creating a balance of colours, contrast, shapes and symmetries.
