The Frame

The image was a montage of three films altogether. The original colour transparency was sandwiched (in the middle) by a piece of high contrast ortho film (the image of the frame) on one side, and another piece of blue Diazochrome film (for the image of blue sky) on the other. During the mounting process, the blue Diazo film was adjusted out of registration to create the outlines. All these years, contemporary style has been one of my favorite creations, now made much easier with the advent of digital imaging and Photoshop.

This image was awarded the PSA Gold Medal for the best contemporary slide of the show and the Wellington Lee Award of the 28th Singapore International Salon of Photography in 1977. This is one of the National Gallery, Singapore, Permanent Collections.
