My nephew put me onto this funky film stock so I bought some to celebrate the 50th birthday of my Nikkormat FT2. (The lens is a little sticky, but other than that the camera is basically good as new. Can you imagine any digital camera lasting half that long?). After stewing in the digital swamp for so long, shooting film felt like a clean breeze – yes, I still did the montage & color tweaks in Photoshop.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure I shot this same photomontage on the same corner with the same camera in 1995, while I was wandering around a very different New York shooting images for what eventually became 5 DREAMS. There’s something pleasing about the proportions of that building. I’ll post the old shots if I ever find them – I really ought to digitize those images, some of them are probably pretty good!
