lost in translation


I've been wanting to do this for some time, namely look at an image at its earliest stage and compare it to one nearing completion. The left represents the Vandyke Brown print of the scanned botanical sample on the right.

For me it answers a couple of questions. The first being "why go through all the labor of printing this out as a Vandyke Brown print on an unusual paper?" The second question is somewhat related to the first question, "what remains of the original subject?"
