Living in the Past, 2024 - Black and white photograph

I’m really fond of this as a still life, even though I probably would think more about camera movements were I to take it again. Also I must confess to a little digital dodging. It’s funny, I wouldn’t even feel the need to mention it if I had dodged a darkroom print, but that fact that it happened in the digital domain felt like cheating.

I wonder if I could dodge and burn during my negative scanning process? Sounds pointlessly complicated!

To be quite honest, I rarely use the tape player. It needs some more work done on it.

I Accidentally Typewritered The Cat, 2024 - Black and white photograph

What was supposed to be two mediocre photos is now one mediocre composite, thanks to me putting the film holder in the camera the wrong way round. The big scratch down the middle of the film is not my fault, I’m pretty sure Arista Ortho Litho just comes from the factory like that.

Muh Hair, 2024 - Black and white photograph

I’m trying large format photography for the first time. This is the first picture I took that I’m proud of.

I’m not proud of the scan, which is only usable thanks to a teetering stack of masked adjustments designed to mitigate the vignetting of my light source and my digital camera’s lens. Maybe someday I will get a flatbed scanner, but I’m still trying to decide whether 4x5 is really my thing.

I think it might be.
