Camera: Voigtlander Bessa, f3.5 105mm Skopar lens. Hilda and Scott, Ottawa, ON.
This is from a test roll I put through this camera to see if I had successfully mended all the light leaks on the bellow, which miraculously, I did. The double exposure was not intentional, but sometimes art is found, right?
This also made me think about starting a series on what I like about cities. The original shot was simply a shot of an old street that I love, because of it's scale. I'm actually standing on the opposite sidewalk, as this street is so narrow, only one car can get by at a time. It's a nice little street designed for people, not cars, and has some nice little homes that address the street wonderfully, making it feel like an intimate space. There's also a backyard if you don't want to sit on the porch next to your neighbours. In my mind, it's the little things like bring the porches right up to the street on a narrow street, with little gardens that makes it such a nice place. The houses are nothing special, but overall, i find it very pleasant, and would love to live on a street like this.
OoOo! That's my house - the first one, with the irises in the yard :)

Like The Exorcist, only with Buddha.

I like the subtlety of the Buddha in the double exposure. I'm looking forward to more of this City Series.

A very fortuitous double exposure.

successful on both accounts, the camera repair and the happy accident.

I love the double exposure. Intentional or not, it's beautiful!

I like it very much. I enjoy processing and viewing images that have been manipulated. Recently I've been thinking this is exactly what inspired those who were on the ground floor of manipulating images were attempting to duplicate. Yours is better than the those we take hours to make just right.

a happy accident; i like the idea that buddha looks over and protects this quaint old street.
