Description Scanned in some early photography of mine. (Circa 2003)

Shot with on black & white film with a Nikon SLR. Developed in darkroom, 8" by 10" print. No photoshop whatsoever. You can see impurities from bad developing, but I really like it that way.

I like the impurities too. it almost looks as though there is something drifting around the flower.

There's a really ethereal beauty to this that I love, and I think what you term as 'bad developing' actually adds to that!

How the light hits the first flower on the left, that combined with, what appears to be an overlay of plastic crinkled by heat.

it's actually watermarks left by developing fluid. a happy accident.

It inspires me to go back into my photography (If you checked my gallery before, I was mostly build up with photos), but people showed little interest in my photos with time...

They started to comment more my proses... so, I dropped.
