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…

A friend of mine walking ahead of me in the gardens of Château de Versailles
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. :)

Famed as the birthplace of Henri IV, king of France and the Navarre, the Chateau de Pau also played an important role of fortress under Gaston Febus (Gaston III was the 11th count of Foix and viscount of Béarn 1343-1391, he claimed Béarn as an independent fief with its chief seat his stringhold at Pau, a site that had been fortified by the 11th century which was later made the official capital of Béarn province in 1464 of Foix-Béarn) and residence to the royal families of the Renaissance. The tapestry, towers, gardens and donjons mark the presence of a history filled with gallantry, fame and courage.
