old negs

Off and on I purchase vintage negatives in bulk from Ebay. I then spend time looking through them, sometimes I used them to make new images that are then displayed in my Fragments gallery.

But sometimes I come across negatives that are just delicious, that I would never change because they are perfect just like they are. This is one of them:

This image didn't make the cut for the website, but I still like it a lot. It's from the Marissa & Natasha shoot.

"serpentine"

sometimes i make images, and there they are -outside of me- like perfect things that seem too beautiful to have been made by me. other times? well, i guess i make images that are pleasing enough, but that don't strike me as "perfect things".

this is one of those images. pretty...but not perfect. and yet i'm not quite sure that anything is really missing.
