This is an awesome photography project made even more awesome cuz the Common Folk homie Alani Cruz is the co-conspirator. He came up with the idea of doing a double exposure project with someone he’d never met before. Enter Amy Yang. For the past couple of years Alani, who is in Japan, would shoot a roll of film and then send it to Amy in Tapei for her to shoot therefore creating the double exposure. The result, spontaneous experiment of controlled “happy little accidents” that birth uncertain masterpieces that could never be created otherwise. There’s always a risk of ruining a shot but also the excitement of creating something that could never be planned. Remember how exciting it was to get a roll of film developed and see how the photos turned out? Well, compound that excitement ten fold when it involves experimenting with double exposure.

Luckily the gods of art smiled upon these two awesome photographers cuz their bets paid off and they turned out some truly amazing photographs, ones that could have never been conceived without the total risk of their experiment. And to top it off, these two strangers will be having their own very first face to face meeting to celebrate their collaboration.
