My first foray into large format portraiture has some issues. Overexposed, thanks to a lack of aperture control on the lens and a slow, hand-actuated shutter. That hand actuated shutter is also responsible for some camera shake, resulting in further lack of clarity.

I made a few mistakes in development: loaded the film the wrong way, so it slipped out of the holder and got scratched up during agitation, and forgot to rinse off the anti-halation layer.

Garden Leaves (2018)

Going by the notch codes on this sheet of 5x7 film, this was shot on Delta 100, and most likely developed in HC-110. I can't honestly tell if this is a negative scan or a darkroom print. Maybe I need to have more coffee. This image has always tugged on my heartstrings for some reason. I love the tonality. I hope you like it. :-)
