Be-Bopping Down 23rd Street Photograph

This vintage architecture is from the 60's, when cars had fins and architects had fun. To reinforce the 60's architecture, I used collage to add polka dots and metallic papers. I photograph the buldings with architectural lenses, then print the images on clear film. By hingeing the left side of the clear film positive to a sheet of drawing paper, I can open the film like a page in a book, and paint the reverse side of the film with with acrylic paint, while adding pastel and collaged paper on the drawng paper. When the 2 layers are closed, you can look through the clear film to the layers of paint and collage below. I get a high quality scan done of the photo collage, then have it printed on a 44 inch professional printer with an expert print operator. I then proof the print carefully, and reprint until it is perfect. Because of the amount of metallic areas in the image, I decided to make the final print on an archival metallic paper with a bright white base.
