Indeed B. - it endlessly fascinates me for several reasons. Any still image starts life as three dimensional objects rendered onto a flat plane. I have always enjoyed trying to alter this - and stack up the layers. Of this type of picture - the best for me are the ones that initially confuse the viewer. It might not be entirely obvious what we are looking at. It takes time to unpick the layers. It's also a technique that lends itself to surrealism - which I'm rather fond of in street photography. To find the unusual in the ordinary. The weird in the mundane. Another good trick is to - discreetly - include the photographer in the picture - that's another layer. The viewer can see me taking the picture they are looking at. On a more prosaic level - the pictures I posted that you commented on were taken in the middle of the afternoon in harsh, harsh Spanish light. It's good for very little other than turning shop windows into near perfect mirrors.
