New Angle on the Photo Set

The first photo I've ever sold was of a European subway station. It was sold to our mayor (Palm Springs, CA) at a show inside a coffee shop. I have hundreds of subway photographs that I've shot from all over the world.
Right now I'm making a collage with them some of them, sorting them into groups by the levels you'd would actually travel underground to get to one subway line or another in order to create replication of a multi-level underground subway station.

For example, the first row of pictures are photos of the cafes, stores at ground level, the second are photographs of escalators and staircases, the third is the platform where people catch the cars. Then I repeat going down three more levels. This is an experimental work, so I've still got to refine it. I'm also coating it with shellac - I paste the first coat over a couple of pictures, then use spray glue and paste a couple more and apply another coat and repeat so there are multiple levels of coatings, which I am hoping will give it a 3-D look.

Tip: Experiment with your creative edge to produce new works of art from your photography. Save the work for future generations to see.
