A Million Suns

Combining comic book sequential storytelling and the fine art photograph, the images submitted are part of an ongoing project entitled, A Million Suns, which tells a story of one man's search for his future. Using images that are collaged, montaged, erased, and drawn on, I portray my belief in the unlimited variations of the future. The collage approach is like creating the future—we combine experiences and circumstances and move them around to see what fits and what makes sense. The end result is not what we initially set out to do. It is always a surprise. For this one man's quest, his journey is about to veer off its projected course, into the undiscovered land of a million suns. ---- Technical Notes: Each image is first printed on transparency to create a digital negative and subsequently contact printed onto fine art paper to create a cyanotype. The hypnotic blue of this 19th century printing process generates the introspective atmosphere of the fictional world depicted in this story.
