old photo, re.edited
it's been raining nonstop these days, so no new photos for me =')
It's always fun to learn that there are roads and places within a well-visited (by me) county that I've never seen before. And under certain light (even shitty meridian light), there's something I can more or less do with a camera.
The damage to this negative was through user error. I clearly dropped some fixer or water or something on the sheet prior to development. No idea how that happened, but it could have been worse.
But really, it doesn't matter. What I enjoy about film is that everything that goes into a photo is part of the photo (if you want it to be).
For X-ray film that means: the cutting, the loading, the shooting, the unloading, the storage, the development, the fixing and finally (for me) the scanning (for others, continue this list with whatever printing workflow you've got going on).
Of course, this is the same for most film, (usually apart from the cutting thing). But X-ray film acts as a sort of catalog of everyone little mistake you've made along the way. Apart from the actual exposure, this film is unforgiving.
You'll notice the white border around the image, just inside the black boarder created by the film holder. Is this from over agitation in the tray? Obviously, there was some fogging or a very very slight light leak on the right of the frame. But what of the sort of anti-vignetting around the whole thing? It's prevalent through most/basically all of the sheets. I've never seen that before.

I worked on this image today so that I could write a tutorial for my blog on how I've been doing these leaf shots. This image is actually from the same one as the falling leaves one.
I wanted to write one earlier but I just couldn't seem to come up with any ideas for what should be coming out of the leaf, I thought about balloons or stars but then I thought butterflies are kind of like leaves. They start out as one version of a living creature and then slowly they change into another part of it. Caterpillars turn to butterflies, buds turn to leaves which then turn back into soil to feed the tree.......the world is so connected....
I posted the tutorial for this on my blog, I hope that I was clear in my process and that it makes sense. If you decide to try it out, please send me a message or a comment as I'd love to see it!
El avión Douglas DC-3 de la marina de los Estados Unidos se vió obligado a realizar un aterrizaje de emergencia sobre la playa de arena negra Sólheimasandur el 24 de Noviembre de 1973 en plena guerra fría. Afortunadamente no hubo víctimas mortales. Hoy en día representa uno de los puntos fotográficos más famosos de Islandia.

It’s one of Iceland’s most iconic and haunting photography locations. On Saturday Nov 24, 1973 a United States Navy Douglas Super DC-3 airplane was forced to land on Sólheimasandur’s black sand beach. Luckily all crew members survived the crash.

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

Not sure if I'm happy with the processing. But then again when am I ever happy? Heh. :-)
……. learn.
I thought it was so lovely how they stood there, all in a row, imitating what Mom or Dad had done.

Ich fand das so schön, wie sie dort standen, alle in einer Reihe und nachgemacht was Papa oder Mama vorgemacht hat.
Learn to be secretly happy within your heart in spite of all circumstances, and say to yourself, "Happiness is the greatest divine birthright — the buried treasure of my soul. I have found that I am secretly rich beyond the dream of kings."

Juvi made an perfect landing, fun to watch them struggling as they learn to ly and then land. Plenty of time for them to hone these skills.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams

Things weren' t going my way
I was feeling down all the time
You held me through the pain
Stood by me in the rain
So today I'm free
Feeling fine all the time
Don't have to wait and see
We're on a one way dream
Like the clouds I'm flying and I'm...
And now I' m flying high above the sky
And it' s all because of you
I got a feeling in my heart
My life can really start
And it' s all because of you
-Sunrise Ave
Press L, please :)
And on those days when you get up... and already, nothing feels right, and you have a pretty good idea that it is going to be "one of those days" .... you keep your mouth shut... and you learn. That's my plan... and I'm sticking to it. (That, and total avoidance of people in general. Good luck to me on that one...)
