This specific view of the château is what makes it one of my favorite châteaus.

A friend of mine walking ahead of me in the gardens of Château de Versailles
This photo was taken in a local ruined building, its a fantastic place, great for photography….. I really liked this photo because of the incorporation of the band posters on the wall, a friend and i spent about an hour just looking at the layers and layers of posters on the walls, and my friend even found a poster of his dads old band in one of the rooms from about 30 years ago…
This image was made from 2 photos and about 1000 layers/pieces, it took about 12 hours editing to complete. This is another image from the same fantastic ruined building in my home town….. I have been slowly over the past year experimenting and playing with these kind of hockney style collages/joiners, and have kind of created my own style of joiners… I’d be pleased to know what you think. :)
