Waiting at Airports

    Possibly one of the things I loathe doing most…waiting at airports.

    I’ve looked at this one for a lot longer than I usually would,
    maybe I just got caught up in the boredom-
    thinking “is it a bird, is it a plane..” before realizing that they knew it was a bird,
    and so they must have been much more bored than me.

    But it does capture – something-
    maybe its ‘waiting’ itself-
    and air travel carries just a tiny bit of risk to temper the tedium-

    Film has this one quality,
    of being fixed at the point of the exposure,
    and I’ve never done anything with a negative that didn’t involve more opticals and chemicals.

    This one looks like its been printed a little hard,
    tho I’ve no Idea about how it was scanned, (I’d be interested)
    but thats the way you wanted to print it anyway, so fair enough-

    The texture here is more reticular than granular,
    like its a copy of a copy,
    and maybe a bit overcompressed-
    though, I’m only guessing-

    Looks like a nice print though-

    Jb7,

    Its probably only about a 5×7 print. I deliberatley printed it quite contrasty years ago and scanned it tonight on some waffer Lexmark printer/scanner combo deal, which would probably explain the poor texture.
