So I just developed a few rolls of film myself here at home, and lo and behold - I'd exposed half of my rolls to light. Some photos are spotty, some are almost white, and 60% of my photos are in the trash can.
It can, will, and plain old sucks when it happens to you. But we can move on knowing there are photos like these (I'm also plugging along with some really fun portraits of names we've already talked about, or you might have heard somewhere along the way):
Remember Sally Mann's bold images of her children?
And Richard Avedon's use of white backgrounds?
This is JFK's daughter, Caroline.
You might laugh at him, but Diane Arbus loved
finding characters like this guy waiting around to be photographed!
Judith Joy Ross did a project following school kids in Hazleton, PA.
And of course, Michal Chelbin and her grown-up kids portraits.
All of these are strong portraits, and most of them are shot in an environment that the children might be found in everyday. Also, each photographer photographs the kids as if they were adults. This makes the photo beautiful and eerie at the same time.
Can't wait to get back to work with you all tomorrow!!
