Catching Light

Today, slide film (the positive) is rare. There are few places left that develop it. A relic of the past, slide film is a capricious medium. It's picky when it comes to light conditions, exposure, and colour balance. It was meant to be used as a transparency, and it belongs with the era of carousel projectors. It feels being simultaneously too much and too little for our digital age. Yet, with all its quirks, it has this remarkable capacity for turning light and colour into the powerful sense of presence in a captured moment.
