4/30/06 - Double Exposed Cow

Double exposure ala Orton, Sweet or Gallant - take your pick, although I suspect that it's Orton.
This is a double exposure - one frame in sharp focus and one wide open and totally out of focus. I occasionally say "such & such image was inspired by Tony Sweet's use of this technique" and my "mentor" corrected me. He said that Tony learned it from Andre Gallant at a Freeman Patterson workshop. Well, I had heard of it well before ever hearing of either of those gents. It was called the Orton Technique or an Orton Image. I will have to ask Orton and Gallant when they first started using it and settle the debate (although the true innovator was probably none of the above).

Love it! Looks like an illustration in a book of fairy tales.
