between frames

Contact Sheet #1

It was pretty common practice for me to do stupid things like throwing away negatives to clear room in a binder, but somehow I managed to hang on to the first contact sheet I ever made from the first roll of film I ever shot and developed. The roll is incomplete, probably because I lost frames from improper exposure or from the negatives being wound on to the reel incorrectly during development. Still was a nice surprise to find it among the rubble.

    • Me too, but mostly ones that aren’t my own. They’re a photographers sketchbook – more personal and full of flaws.
