my glass i: Flower Child

my glass i image for September 13, 2011.

Accidental double exposure taken with the Holga 120N and Kodak Portra 160VC film (expired).

It's me, taking a picture of my daughter Meg one day while we were taking Sadie (world's finest dog) for a walk. I'm shooting with my Canon F1, while Meg was equipped with my Holga for the day.

Lesson: Wind the Holga on after each exposure. (Unless you want to do stuff like this.)

Nice one - funny how life can throw you a shot like that

Should be your new profile picture I reckon

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Chris. Yeah,...completely unexpected. Maybe you're right about making it my profile picture.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, thats brilliant ...
Pete's serendipity in action!
Ive had a few accidental double exposures, but non come out looking like they were as intentional is this one!

I like it for the fact that it tricks you into thinking there is some sort of reflection going on ...

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Hamish. Yeah,...when I first looked at the neg I thought for sure there was some developer junk of some sort on it. Took me a little while to figure out what was going on. (The more I look at that picture the more convinced I become that it's not my F1 I'm weilding. I don't hold the F1 that way. I think its my Konica I, which has a small lever for focusing on the left ide of the lens barrel--I think my left hand's index finger is adjusting the focus.)

 

[Pete Askew]

As has been said, what a great lucky accident.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Pete. It almost makes me want to play with double-exposures, a genre that has been hitherto off-putting to me.
