scratching through photographs

I’ve been harnessing the manipulative power of these grey machines, and fiddling with photographs.

Palimpsest disappeared from our lives around 1440, when your man Gutenberg began using a new piece of paper for each imprint. Only recently has the phenomenon reappeared with the likes of old tattered hoardings subject to waves of pastings by fly posters and the opacity tool in Photoshop.

Oh, I like these. They have a hauntingly dreamlike quality.
