Both photos were taken on analog film that had long since passed its expiration date. The larger image is a portrait of the model Taya, bathed in shadow. The expired emulsion lends the image a softness and unpredictability that no digital process can replicate. The smaller image shows frame 36 of a roll that broke before it could be fully advanced. A diffuse night scene, captured at the very edge of what the film was still capable of recording. Two mementos that remind me to relinquish a little control in order to find beauty in chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
