Admire your visual style and enthusiasm. Regarding the imperfection, I suspect, but do not know, that perhaps a very thin layer of moisture built up in the film holder--perhaps due to temperature/environmental extremes--causing mild uneven contact with the holder backing resulting in the uneven peripheral appearance. Pure conjecture here. Good seeing and great videos! I'm certain your channel subscribers will grow. Keep up the good work!
The Japanese concept of wabi-sabi encourages us to embrace imperfections. Consider the object on its own merits, nothing is truly perfect or permanent. While you may wish to consider the reasons for the “imperfections” in the image, at least in order to control the process, the image in my opinion is still quite beautiful. I enjoy your videos, the relaxed style and the fact that you show the process and the results however imperfect. Thanks.
@@darrelltheriault5793 Hi Darrell, thank you for watching and for commenting. I love the work of Moriyama and the other Provoke era photographers and the wabi-sabi concept in general, so I agree that imperfections should be embraced and I’m always trying to remind myself to loosen up and let go of technical perfection. I do get a little insecure though when I have no idea how the imperfections occurred 😂. One of the reasons I enjoy lith printing so much is that I’m never quite sure what I’m going to get and while I’m sure better printers that me can replicate quite closely their lith printing results, I find it very difficult, which again adds to the uniqueness of the print and can be seen as a positive. Thanks again for watching and I’m glad you liked the video. Thanks
Crikey - someone with perseverance - I refer to the oft made remark (in this age of 99.99 % of people shooting digital) about those shooting large format film ! Shot some large format myself (but not recently) - anyway thanks for the video !
