NYC abstracts

On my recent trip to NYC I found myself challenged. It's hard to photograph a place that has been photographed as much as any place on Earth. There are so many incredible photographers that have made NYC their subject if not their home. I quickly turned to one of my favorite techniques, in-camera double exposure. My camera allows me to make multiple exposures but I have a limited time to do it before the mode goes to sleep. So most of these exposures occur within a minute of each other. What usually happened is I would find something that was interesting, shoot and then make a mad scramble to find some kind of texture to mix in. Many of the times the second exposure was pavement or concrete. I also tried some multiple exposures of the same scene..one in and one out of focus. I shot probably 600 double exposures of which most were confusing and abstract to the point of silliness. I did get some I like and feel my attempt was fairly successful. The editing job has been monumental but I will continue to fine tune these until the get show worthy.
