Self-portrait, Oakland, California, 2024.

 

Update:

Fujifilm Neopan 100 Acros II is an orthopanchromatic film, meaning it has reduced sensitivity to reds. When I took this photo, my face was still red from wearing a N100 mask. This accounts for the splotch on my face.

Notes:

This is a variation on an earlier photo I took with my digital camera. I did this with a lot of the pictures so I could compare films both with each other and with digital images. The whites seem to glow in this photo. I also like the contrast with the deep blacks. Unfortunately, this picture came back from the developer with scratches, as did the rest of the roll. There also appears to be a splotch on my face. I’m guessing I made a mistake during scanning or processing.
