Photo Origami- Using Photo Editing Software, start with a single source image and cut it into sections. Then using those sections, construct a composite using multiple copies of those sections folded back upon itself. From "The Getty" series of photo origami images from 2003. This is the location where kids roll down the hill on a sloped lawn. Photo was taken using Kodak Gold 100 film, C-41 development. Scanned into digital using a Nikon Coolscan 4000 35mm scanner.
