You know when you spend a lot of time and energy on something and then you mess it up right when you finish it. That is what happened to this roll of film. After 36 frames of carefully observed photos... I opened the camera back without rewinding the film. I noticed the film was visible and quickly shut the camera. After that trauma I had wait until the next day to get the film processed to see the damage. I can't really complain seeing how it only ruined a few frames and the others just have the crazy light leaks.

It is times like this when I am assured that shooting film again is important because of the bonus, unexpected, mishaps that give character to the images.

I have really been enjoying my time on the LA streets. The people, the light, the sounds... more to come soon.

Two more rolls to pick up tomorrow.

New realization:

film sculpts / digital chisels.

It's been awhile since I have posted more than just a pic or two of random 'what I've been doing' kind of photos. Here are some from the past week or so. Since I have been living in downtown LA I have been trying to get out and photograph for a few hours several times a week.
