Flash in the Mirror

mirror flash

One of the things I usually try to avoid when using flash is mirrors. Not so this time! And what's more, it's all fogged up and smeared from a recent shower.

This shot was taken with my brand new fisheye camera, and the film was developed at a local one-hour place nearby. The interesting thing about this shot is that I've put colored gels on the ring flash on the camera, which creates the strange colors.

Having a cheap plastic 35mm camera feels very freeing. I can be more cavalier when taking pictures, and the ring flash and colored gels makes me more playful, less serious, less intense about things coming out a certain way. The fact that it's film helps to add mystery and novelty, but also reveals that having a primarily digital workflow has made me impatient and perhaps a little less thoughtful than before.

I'm enjoying the return to film.
