Defect or an error 1

Posted by Nataly (Santa Monica, United States) on 29 April 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

This is another mistake, error, light leak, scratch and whatever else is there in this frame (can`t call it an image :) ).
This was on the film roll from Patagonia shot on Holga. Few of the frames came out like this and when i got the proof sheet I couldn`t believe the color variation. So I decided to include this in to the "Defect or an error" collection.

This is the first post of this collection

Great abstract. I think we all wish our mistakes/errors would turn into something as interesting.

I think it is beautiful, I don't think anybody can do a better job, not even with illustrator and photoshop. I say you clean it up a bit, add some other images into it, and you got yourself a great art piece for your house. Seriously! It is filled so much elements, anybody seeing it would have a different interpretation, and that is what ART is about. Do it Nataly!

@Howard F.: Thank you, Howard! I like this frame for it`s artsy angle as well. I`ll see what I can do with it. It could be fun, you are right.

Luis A. De Jesus R. from Mexico City, Mexico

I once read that one would be surprised how many of those fabulous exposures one might run across are in fact errors, just that the photographer won't say so. I enjoy viewing your "errors". You've become very creative and artsy --I like it a lot.

@Luis A. De Jesus R.: Thanks a lot. It`s a compliment. I guess it took me a year to get a bit familiar and comfortable with a camera and and gain the freedom from some technical issues which gave me a freedom to slowly start doing what I like - art. I have many projects in my head which require a lot more skill and knowledge. So I am working on gaining all that. As many in our photographic community tell me I am on a honeymoon with photography. When I just play and enjoy. No pressure. There is always time for that. And when it comes it becomes harder and harder to enjoy. And since this is the only carrier I am planning on, it is important to do it right.. Thank you, Luis!!

Great Holga photo! They are famous for the "just shoot and pray" attitude.
