Another "inverted lens" image taken with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash camera.
This image was taken at Breakheart Reservation in Saugus, MA.
Lots of scratches from respooling the incredibly fragile Arista.edu film onto a 620 reel.
Dream or nightmare? How do you respool? I do mine in-camera. It's not a perfect system as I sometimes loose the first image edges but I never have a problem with scratches in the image area.
I just respool freehand in a darkroom. The issue here is the Arista film (Fomapan) which is hypersensitive. Some of these scratches may very well be happening in camera. Never had any problem respooling Tri-X or Neopan.
I shoot a lot of the same subject with different cameras.This blog has pretty much become a place to post these alternative versions of images that I have already posted on Flickr. Not that they're any better or worse than the Flickr images...they're just different.
You can check out the blog on my website (link below) for additional news/posts.
Thanks.
