Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor have made distinguished careers out of manipulating images: he's an old-school darkroom guy, while she's embraced the computer. For this challenge, they provided ten images for you to remix into an original composition.
The base picture is of ruined piers that floated free on the NJ side of the Hudson. The group of workers includes my grandfather and they were working on the Staten Island Rapid Transit System, perhaps in 1899 when my father was born.

I used 7 of the 10 images provided and 4 sourced images to create my composite image. I wanted to try to create an interesting image with a narrative and a surreal tone to it. Originally, I wanted to create a Black & White composite using all of the 10 images provided, however, I found that some of the photos just wouldn't work without forcing them into the composition. I tried a Black & White version, but I liked the color image better and I felt it enhanced the narrative I was trying convey. This composite went through many versions before I settled on this one. I really enjoyed this "Photo Remix" Challenge! Thanks.

The title is, His Pathway to the Past is Well Guarded, and the interpretation is up to the viewer.

I made my own negative from the original photo and manipulated it physically and then scanned it.
