Mamiya Universal // Fujifilm FP-100C

 

I wanted to do something with this theater marquee from the start of this project, but wasn't sure how to deal with the blinding interference from the letterboard underneath. Lo and behold, I drove by one night and the letterboard lights were dark -- I immediately dropped all plans, went home and came back with the Universal rig.

 

Bleeding neon effect created by pulling the developer tabs (laterally moving the film inside the camera) with the shutter still open. The flasher effect of the bulbs translated into an interesting pattern for this pull, I can't wait to bleach the negative for this.
