When we visited the Pompidou Museum in Paris in September, I was struck by a photo by François Kollar. Kollar’s photo is intriguing, as it seems to show twin Eiffel Towers:

François Kollar: Tour Eiffel, circa 1930

After seeing this work, I was inspired to try to figure out how to create some interesting effects with some Eiffel Tower photos myself.  It’s not as straightforward as Kollar made it look, though — I am very impressed at his skill in the non-digital darkroom after spending some time today creating — and discarding — many attempts in my digital one 😉

Anyway, below are a couple of experiments I kept.  In the description for each photo, I’ve put a note about what I did. See what you think of this artsy way to view the Eiffel Tower (note that I’ve repeated Kollar’s work in the gallery below for reference):
