Day 9: Trying Something New With Something Old
Day 9: January 9, 2014: Twin Peaks
Trying something new with something old today. Or maybe that’s something old with something old, in a new way. Or trying a new way to do something old with something old that is new to me? Now I’m confused…Let’s start over.
The hardest part of this project so far has been the limitations of film in low light. I’ve been less than satisfied with the dark grainy nothing I’ve been finding in many of my negatives, so it was time to try something different. Today was a day of experimentation. Taking my new old film camera up to Twin Peaks, I set out to see how my old long exposure night tricks would translate to film. There will be much learning to continue, but I’m pretty optimistic, given the turnout from my first try on expired film.
