Jerry Uelsmann is a black and white photographer who is well known of his multiple exposured silver gelatin prints. This is an example of his work, and this one gives me better chance on expressing my insight of Uelsmann's works. Uelsmann did his multiple exposures in the darkroom, and I am interested about his darkroom printing technique. We should consider that when Uelsmann was printing his works, Adobe Photoshop was not yet discovered. It is very clear that this is an image of a combination of a house and tree roots. I like it because it shows me a surreal feeling, as well as weirdness. Even though his composition is surreal, it brings us to another world that lead us to think that the object composed actually exists.
