Scanned 35mm

Today when I was looking for an old point and shoot camera, I found a CD of old film scans which I thought might have some images from Japan on it. I was right! These images were shot on black and white 35mm, mostly in late 2017. I think the ones in the snow are from 2016, but I could be wrong. I can’t remember exactly where  took them, but they are definitely in Japan. The rest (including the funky light leaks) were taking in Tokyo around November ~ December 2017. I think I might be able to re-work these for something- and maybe I am starting to see the “good crap” aesthetic that I was talking about in earlier posts.

There were also a couple of shots from Melbourne on the end of the roll, which I think are interesting because you can see the film didn’t wind on properly (I wound this film from a bulk roll myself, so it’s bound to be a bit inaccurate!) I kind of like this aesthetic though- I think it makes the shots seem like little movie frames or storyboard cells, and the imperfection being just off works somehow. 

Finally, I found a physical printed photo of a bowl of noodles, shot in Japan in 2018. This one I scanned with the iPhone PDF scanner, but I think I will re-shoot it with the DSLR. I think this could form an interesting composition if combined with some text. I especially like the shadow, and the fact that you can see the edge of the photo. Oh, and the date stamp! Maybe I could have this image only half sewn into a page, similar to Chloe Dewe Mathews’ work.
