From Testimonio by Simon Head


















(Copyright - Simon Head)

"I found a front view and exposed the negative - took copious notes of the measurements from camera to subject, and subject position in the ground glass of my view camera - then moved to a side view... ...the relationship between self and environmental motion appeared to be duplicated when looking at this rough photographic information placed in an isometric composition."   

Paltryphotography translation: I took a shot of a building and then moved round the side of it and took another shot.
