(engl.: failed shots)
a collection of beautifully – technically – failed shots.
my first big – and i mean really big – fail in film photography was to have once forgotten to rewind the film before opening the camera back. as soon as I saw that dark strip of emulsion i froze up and then instantly slapped that camera shut. i already knew that irreparable damage has been done to the film and was preparing myself for the worst.
oh the dread i was feeling when downloading the scans from my local lab and oh the joy i experienced when it turned out that only the topmost frames had been completely ruined. but have they? and completely?
that is when i saw through the overexposed regions to the interesting and pleasing images as a whole. and hence this collection came to be, made up only of photographs messed up, ruined and on first glance – unusable.
