After picking up the two rolls of film that I'd taken six long days before, I drove out of the parking lot of the camera store and parked a few blocks away, under a willow tree. With familiar eagerness and anxiety, I opened the envelope and removed the first set of images, rushing through them with growing dread. I removed the second set of images, and disappointment officially crushed me. Due to varying degrees of blurriness, I considered every single image thoroughly unuseable, a waste of film. I wanted to cry. I fell into mourning and let myself feel it all. And then I stopped and realized that this is the first time this has happened, where I haven't gotten a single useable image, and perhaps that actually makes me quite lucky. I checked the camera and discovered that I had, in fact, neglected to attend to one of the settings, thereby screwing everything up. But, I thought, perhaps this will not only prevent me from making the same mistake again but also provide another avenue; maybe I should create something out of the negatives, perhaps this time the negatives are the point, for if the pictures were any good I never would've considered using the negatives themselves in any way. So, now I must find a use for them.
Also, in retrospect, while I remain thoroughly disappointed in the images as a whole, there are some I am less disappointed in than others...
