I’ve taken many digital photographs with my Lumix camera and, more recently, my iPhone. I’ve printed many of them in various sizes for shows and for personal use. This particular image was intriguing because I snapped it just to have a record of a portrait painting that I saw while walking in Berlin. On closer examination, as often happens with photographs, I saw that not only was my image as the photographer reflected in the glass, so was the street scene behind me. I was able to digitally enhance my photo to bring these layers out in this printed image. This is a great example of what one medium can do well that another medium cannot.
