Looking at all these, inspired by combing through my archives for some NYC payphone shots, I’m struck with how moody and lovely this volatile early Impossible film could be. I shoot predominantly color now, especially since they’ve really gotten the formula back down, but I’m in love htis morning with these beautiful, primordial blacks and grays.
POSTSCRIPT: Last week I hit “send” too soon on “Please Pay Before,” and if you read it in your email, you missed a couple of photographs, including one by Pat Owens of me in “action” (standing dramatically trying to make a photo of a window).
