I wanted to create a rather shattered look, inspired by something I saw in Aperture magazine about to years ago. It was never my intention
to produce a straight shot. :-)
However, I'm not at all certain what kind of impression it gives the viewer. What say you?
I'm not sure what the point of the photo or technique is. It looks a bit like the stuff Hockney was doing with Polaroids 20+ years ago, but his purpose was to explore multiple-viewpoint perspective, and notions of movement in photographs.

It's not a very big version but it gives some of the idea of what Hockney was trying. Yours seems to be rather different. Certainly produces another view of what would have been a straightforward record shot.
