A WORK-IN-PROGRESS—Montage is a familiar technique in filmmaking in which the director/editor uses a rapid succession of frames to add mood or create a dreamscape that adds a new layer of meaning to the story. Photomontage, though less common, does much the same thing by pulling together different still images or parts of images into a single composite, thereby creating an abstraction that is more than the sum of its parts. These composites draw from my own source photographs culled from nearly 20 years of work in various genres such as street photography, ocean landscapes, architecture, etc. using Photoshop as my digital editor. I work intuitively but with the intention of creating something aesthetically coherent and lyrical.
