“Marble Corners” is a composite of two bottom corners of a marble column. There was direct low beaming light on them in a very old church in Italy. The corners were captured using B/W film. I printed the images in the darkroom with the Lith alternative processes style. Using very old chemicals produced almost black background images. I then composited them into one completed image that I am overjoyed with.
