Photojojo's
newsletter absolutely blew me away this morning! Martin Wilson uses the contact sheets from his film cameras to create prints. However, there's no Photoshop or any kind of editing involved! He has to plan ahead of time what he wants the finished product to look like, shoot it in the right sequence, and match up photos from frame to frame and row to row. I have no idea how he keeps track of all these things in his head at the same time! He also never cuts and pastes frames - if he messes one up, he starts all over. Because of this, a roll can take him months to complete.
I think his most impressive pieces are the ones where he spells out sayings using
pavement cracks and
tree branches. Again, I have no idea how he lines things up so perfectly without being able to see the previous photo! He must have a photographic (literally) memory.
