Looking Becomes Seeing

While in the darkroom printing Richmond City Building-yesterday's image-noticed an interesting reversal. Invert and flip the image and a new reality appears. Roof becomes floor and sky changes into ground. The original presentation is a rather closed image-viewer remains contained in the picture. The new presentation is an open image-viewer is allowed to project beyond and out of the picture. Aside-this is the first time that I have been able to produce an analog image that is "better" then the digital print. Film, chemicals, photographic paper and darkroom equipment are beginning to come together. (click on image to enlarge)
