The difference between theme and technique.
"In theory, making photographs is the pictorial equivalent
to the surrealist process of automatism. Although, surrealist photography has
not always attached itself to such a straight forward and automatic approach.
It is thought that, generally, surrealist photography took several forms:
photomontage and manipulation, staged photography and documentary photography." (Excerpt from my previous written essay, Photography and Surrealism).

Jerry Uelsmann
