some bedroom windows are better than others... interesting transition form transversal to longitudinal stripes, never saw it in zebras so clearly. In liquid crystals theory such objects are called "disclinations"

It's chocolaty and velvety smooth, it's almost edible.

Captivating images and interesting questions posed. I have not experimented with multiple exposure and this has inspired me to try. The interaction of overlapping images, the recognizable and unrecognizable, the shadows and textures. I also liked the guided pacing of the video -- while still processing one image in my I am pleasantly surprised with the next. Thanks for putting this together.

I look at this as a marvelous tribute to randomness. But it's constructed like a piano etude and thus the suggestion of:
"discover what the camera sees that you don't"
is one way of approaching photography. (actually it happens to be my way also.)
Of all things visible what appears in a photograph is always invisible to the eye and surprises us.

I particularly like the pace of this piece, the moment of questioning the exercise.
Wonderful

One of the best montages I have seen for some time. Quite eloquent and the music is so fitting. Bravo. The thirst for the unknown is a powerful driving force, your location makes it all the more exotic to this concrete semi-bound individual. I couldn't help thinking that your process is similar to shooting film, the pleasure is in the discovery of ones intuition, ingenuity and open mindedness. I like the circular concept, no beginnings - no endings. Just an insatiable craving for going further, the satisfaction of not being sated. Mucho gracias.

Thanks Henry. Just iPhone but I did cheat a bit and use Hipstamatic app because you can do multiple exposures so easily; actually you can do multiple-multiple exposures, as many as you like. And with a bit more trickery you can combine that with slow shutter speeds. Didn't do any post processing at all except to remove borders imposed by some Hipstamatic settings.

Paul,

Where to beginâ€Â¦ Brilliant stuff! I feel like I’m someplace between you, the photographer, and your subject. Really there is no camera at all, just this space between.

It̢۪s a very relaxing experience to just let it play out. I̢۪ve gone through it a few times and it doesn̢۪t get old. That̢۪s all I can ask for and you delivered big time. Thanks!
