Two worlds (Series)
DESCRIPTION
What if there is a parallel universe similar to ours but slightly different?
What if our universes overlap sometimes?
Would we be able to see it? Would we be able to feel it?
Or is it just a fantasy?
This series was born as a result of taping together Fuji Fp 100c type film negative and Polaroid 669 type film positive in a darkroom. Shot with Polaroid Land Camera 195.
AUTHOR
My way in photography started when I was a child and was making b&w prints with my father in our home darkroom. Later as a teen, I was shooting a 35 mm point-and-shoot camera. I was always craving something more, so I picked up the camera again in 2007, first taking pictures on 35 mm, then 120 mm, and finally finding the medium that made my heart beat faster and the world spin slower - Polaroid. It's been 10 years and I still feel the same way every time I see the image the first time after it's developed.
