fever dream 2

If you’d ever wondered what would happen if you scanned a negative as a negative (instead of turning it into a positive) and then did a pile of edit-y things to it – this can (potentially) give you some answers.

Or other could haunt your dreams.

Or – if it’s your lucky day – both of those things could happen.

fever dream, 1

Way back in time, during the COVID era, a photography studio in a neighboring town went out of business. They sold the props, the backdrops, the shelves. And boxes and boxes of negatives.

I bought some of the negatives with the idea that I’d do something with them someday.

Someday turns out to be: right now.

My imagination runs wild when I start manipulating these negatives, and I hope you’ll let yours do the same.

rain/lock

Someone secured the gate by leaving the open padlock on the wall. I am not a safety expert but that strikes me as being not secure.

But anyway, the raindrops and the colors looked good together and that’s really all I was after.

I think normal people, if they woke up on a chilly Saturday and heard the rain, would have a probably rolled over and gotten some more sleep.

Photographers are not normal.

So I got up and went downtown to photograph rain falling on Lubbock’s downtown, which is pretty bleak to start with.
