Self-portrait with Wire Mesh
What is free may become confined, with time.
And we pull at the boundaries, in hopes of recovering that horizon still seen beyond.
Holding to that unforgiving wire.
But what time builds, it can degrade, and holes emerge in the tightest cage.
Be the bird that files away.
Stand strong in this new year, whatever it may bring.
Shot with a Kodak Retina IIa
Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenon 50mm f/2 lens
Kodak Tri-X 400 film
Shot at EI 400
Developed in the Ego Lab using Rodinal (1:100, stand developed for 1 hour (agitation first minute only))
Scanned on a Coolscan 9000ED
