Artist: Curtis Mann
Date: 2010
Title: Second Sky

This collage by Curtis Mann is beautifully portrayed with a feel of a pinkish orange sunset.  These are huge prints of Chemically altered chromogenic development prints which contains one or many layers of silver halide emulsion, along with dye couplers that, in combination with processing chemistry, form visible dyes. In processing, the silver image of each layer is first developed.  I never knew about this process and it's pretty cool the effects it creates on the images.  In this collage by Mann it looks as if there are about seven different scenes with the same exact sky which makes the collage a lot more interesting to look at.

Artist: Joyce Neimanas

Date: 1982

Title: Alice In Wonderland

Joyce Neimanas's Polaroid collages are really chaotic and amazing to me.  You have to actually look closely to see what is going on in the images, but you can tell right away what is in the photos right away.  There is a baby sitting in the left with a man lying down on the right and also a woman's feet on the top of the image in high-heels.  I really like the quality of the Polaroid's colors and how some images are really clear and some are a bit of a blur which brings out the subject of the composition. Overall collages from Neimanas really catches my eye and the quality and quantity of the photos used.
