I just find this image too confusing. Have you ever read Occam's Razor?

Actually, I kind of like it.

I find this a very successful photograph, very "postmodern." However, my question is then, was it a found image, a shop window in a junk shop featuring movie posters, with reflections; or is this a digitally manupulated computer composite? Could the same image be great as a "real" photo, yet be just some more "art," if it's a construct?

The nice thing about this image is the way all the layers of imagery are bound by one concept that is still open to personal interpretation. An excellent job of editing, whether it was while you were walking down the street or sitting at your workstation...t

and an interesting juxtaposition of postings.

Here are the details: This is a study in double exposures. I ran the film through one time, exposing a variety of images, then rewound and ran the film again. After I developed the negs, I made a contact sheet and looked for the most intersting combination of images. The image I posted here is a combination of a classic painting and a screen from a video arcade.

Thanks for your critiques.
