Intentions: To mimick Andre Dubois' technique although I used a digital camera that won't go wider than 18mm although that's 27mm in SLR language so I can't totally achieve his effect. I really wanted to explore the passage of time aswell by showing both day and night of a space which has been documented many times over the past three decades with many types of technology.
Description: I had to use a series of three shots whereas Dubois uses only two- due to his wide angle pin-hole camera. My images curve outward whereas the Dubois shots curve inward toward the viewer enveloping them. My shots repel the viewer to the extreme depth of the city street right off the frame.
Good/Bad: The exposure for the night shots could have shown more detail in the shadows and some of the highlights of store signs are blown. I really enjoy the concept of passage of time and/or seasons- even if it puts into a category of elderly photographers I'll be happy to join them on this boat!!
Evaluation: In the day images I showed the sky and cityline of buildings whereas in the night shots I focused on getting the action taking place on the street and didn't think about the skyline. This is 'my' little corner of Montreal and I adore the gritty-urbanscape!
