I just didn?t think they'd go together as how would you do surrealist photography by shooting though melted Plexiglas? I can shoot a pocket watch with an extreme wide angle lens but I somehow cant get that wraparound effect! A five paragraph conflicting explanations of the surrealist photography movement in the book I happen to be reading right now by Gilles Mora called "Photospeak" (translated from the French) would seem to embrace just about anything. Straightforward or Manipulated. Just tie it in with that new buzzword: (The) Unconscious. He lists photographers which would not obviously have anything in common tome. Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Herbert Bayer, Ruth Bernhard, Brassa?, Lee Miller, Man Ray, Frederick Sommer, Kansuke Yamamoto. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon
