Found Film.
« on: November 15, 2007, 11:32:55 AM »
No where near the league of DB's treasures (that FISH!) my one discovery was well worn itself, lacked a great deal of artistic or even period merit, but was interesting none the less...

Fujipet, from mid to late 1960s as a guess from other subject on the film:

It's still an interesting ghostly result- thanks to the double exposure and the age specks combined.

i have a few rolls of found film. nothing that screams 'art' like the camper shots, but interesting still. i also have a roll of 127 that had a bunch of wiener dogs wearing party hats, but i can't find the scans. the family shots are from a lubitel from some eastern bloc country. the football shots were from an old ansco 120 camera. and one last mystery shot from a fujipet. the only shot on the roll that i could identify as a photograph because of the frame edge.

Sean, Those readymade images are fairly brilliant... the football photos.  Both of them are excellent I think.  It is that organic art treatment that so many aspire to, but innocently infusing a style of imagery that no one would think to do with the darksider treatment.  I love it.

Nice captures!  I love saying that around photo purists.
My chopstick is really a love poem.
