Analog: the "rejects" found on old film rolls. Images never before seen. Alongside slides, I am currently digitizing a great many rolls of negative film from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Much of it is family material—including many images that one has known since childhood as paper prints in Grandma’s photo albums. Yet, on the corresponding negative rolls, one now discovers unused shots or double exposures—all possessing that very special allure of the hitherto unseen. For back then, during the process of printing the images onto paper, these were essentially considered the "waste." Now, however, they have become the true treasures.
