Today I shot two rolls of film trying to get the photographs I want for my second assemblage. I’ve never done long exposures though, and it was a lot of work to try to get the lighting right. I took many shots with the shutter open, trying to capture movement, as well as some single shots that I want to overlap onto one another in the darkroom. I still have no idea whether or not any of the photographs from the first roll will come out, but I really wanted to try anyway. I guess we’ll see what happens when I go to process the film tomorrow, I hope I have enough useable shots to make my vision for the box come to life.
In other news, I had to order bottles online so that they would all be the same size and fit into the box I am using and they came in the mail today! Yay! It felt like I was opening a science kit or something.
I started to fill them with things like my baby teeth (because I’m weird like that) and my dad’s grey hair.
I was also able to find some cool objects to use at the flea market including an old pair of nail scissors and an antique curling iron. (see photo at top)
