On commenting about my "On paint peeled off...01 (sampler)" work, dear ASalina have requested to see "at least 2x" larger resized crops, and here they come... When I was in my happier days of actively photographing and then practicing in the darkroom, I used to think about cropping smaller photos out of a master photo, and it theoretically occured to me that the possibilities were nearly endless even for a single particular image... ...And, it also occured to me that it was possible for me to spend a whole life dealing with only a single photo by way of deconstructing it, and then reconstructing when it is thought necessary... Such a process is easier to achieve in computer than in darkroom, and when one defines his/her frame, even a few pixels of movement on the master image towards any side seems to produce completely different visual info and stimuli......thus completely different images on their own... ...Or, at least, this is what I suppose... Yet, think of all the possibilities of further cropping the already cropped out images (creating 'sub-crops')... :-)
