I really like this interesting effect you've got happening. The strange compositions you are making captivate me for some reason.

I've been wondering for weeks, however, why you use two or three different enlargers and move the paper between them. Care to illuminate a fan?
 
I am with David William White , this one just like the other work together creating their own super space of unknown ....different universe ...like this lots as well.
 
The technique of blending multiple images onto one sheet of paper involves putting a mask between the lens and paper. Having the mask at this location fades out the edges of the image so that it can blend seemlessly into another image. You need a different mask for each negative. So each negative requires its own enlarger. Dodging and burning can be carried out on each image in its own enlarger. There is a seperate easel under each enlarger and the paper is moved from one to the next. I hope that in the end the viewer sees the final result as a cohesive idea.

Very Jerry Uelsmann type stuff, interesting and thought provoking.

This is very good and appears, at least on the screen, seamless between the two negatives, excellent.

I give all the credit for developing this technique to Jerry Uelsmann, a true visionary photographer. I've never met the man, I learned the craft from a chapter he wrote in a book. I try to use his techniques to express my own, hopefully unique, vision.
