I've checked out your work before and love 'em!
Oh screw the naysayers! I'd just love to figure out how Cordier acheived some of
his effects!
Other than appearances, what I dig about these processes is specifically that they "subvert" the idea of photography (as a process of recording external reality -- which like I pointed out Ansel and Cartier-Bresson etc. took as a granted.) Photography is not just about looking and recording external realities but also of creating and expressing one's own conceptions, even without a camera or enlarger. But too many photographers simplyoverlook these other techniques and don't consider them part of photography, sadly, and so end up re-shooting what has already been shot a million times already.
