Negative Space
One thing I miss about working with traditional film is having a negative. Whether processing a roll, printing from it or just holding it up to a light for review, there’s something irreplaceable about the tactile nature of these actions. A digital tribute to an analog dream…
The reminder of the reversal. Nice post.
Seeing this reminded me of infrared film. What about pulling out the old girl(not me) and giving it a go? Could be fun for old times sake, since you’re feeling nostalgic.
I’m looking for dragonflies, as there had to be at least 20(maybe 29) flying all around this bog. I think I have a few shots of this bog catching 2 or 3 in frame. Cool spot with a storm brewing to boot.
If for no other reason, film has value for showing the positive that can come from a negative. What if the first person who ever produced a negative said, “Oh, this sucks, it’s backwards. I quit.” What if that guy didn’t know how to make it a positive? I get hung up on it, can you tell?
Yes, those dragonflies, there were tons of them! Interesting that a little ‘puddle’ in the middle of nowhere like that could have so many! And the 3 billion worms at the water’s edge. Strange stuff, good times.
