These are a few archival examples from my CPP project. I recently posted my Flickr post number 1,000, a current example from the experiment. I'm incredibly pleased that the project is active again ( abit more about that below). ^_^

This particular piece was shot in collaboration with Marc Slanger, the person I first presented my crazy idea to and the first person to work on this project with me. We held two different showings of our photos at the late, great Gandalf's in downtown F-burg, MD (1996 & 1999).

OK. And now for something completely..… familiar. Pasted below is some info RE the experiment, and please feel free to Flickr-mail me w/ any questions:

This is a part of an ongoing & experimental double exposure photo project entitled "Corpse Photo-Poetics (CPP).” It was conceived as a sort of abstraction of the Surrealist game, "Exquisite Corpse."

I still can't locate my formal description of the project (D’OH), but here’s an attempt to succinctly state the simplicity of CPP:

With E.C., partipants divide a piece of a paper into thirds or quaters, choosing, for instance, the human form. Each participant chooses a section of the form to complete, covering their work, leaving only lines to give the next player a starting point for the next section of the piece. The result can be something quite surprising and, sometimes, even good! ;)

I chose to use double exposure photographs. The CPP images have mostly been produced directly in the camera (35mm). With no fixed form in mind, participants grab an image to be integrated with the photograph of another in the camera, and hopefully the result is just as surprising and, sometimes, even good!

Well, thank you for taking a look, reading about this crazy project, & please LMK (again) if you are interested.

(BTW, I want to thank Denim again for giving this monster some new life, and I indeed look forward to seeing what other buried treasure we might find in future CPP rolls! Here is a link to the first photo that I've posted from our collaboration. She posted something recently as well! =)
