the ghost of a good thing



in the night light, we still shine bright

I mean these, especially those named after "Manipulating light and time". Are these photoshoped?

M.Romaniuk said...

nope.
none of these have been photoshopped in any way.

they are all done with a 35 mm manual SLR, shot at night on the BULB setting for about 7 minutes, and manually processed and developed in the darkroom.

Then scanned to the computer.

The last few, are just straight up scans of the film negatives themselves.

I wanted to keep it as authentic as possible

(if you look closely you can even see the film grainyness on a few of them)
