A positive version of an older post. Exposures were made on medium format negative film. The roll was sent in the mail. The recipient sliced into it. The film began to fall apart during the development process. #mailart #correspondenceart #agfa #mediumformat #destructivephotography #c41 #landscapephotography #analogphotography #experimentalphotography #filmphotography #handdeveloped #processart #instafilm #wip #experimentalfilm #alternativephotography #damagedfilm #lightleak #agfaoptima #negativefilm #visitation #trippy #collaborativephotography #collaborativeart #experimentalfilm #fotografiaexperimental #fotografiaalternativa #treephotography #psychedelicart #dreamsequence https://www.instagram.com/p/CWydKvdFulL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Revisiting one of our earliest posts plus 9 outtakes in sequence from the same roll. Aspens we're photographed near Santa Fe. After returning to Philly, holes were drilled into the 35mm roll. The film was mailed; the recipient developed it. #santafephotography #newmexicophotography #destructivephotography #ruinedfilm #mailart #collaborativeart #analogphotography #visitation #correspondenceart #landscapephotography #lightleak #destructiveart #indieanalog #colorfilm #gunshots #naturephotography #aliensighting #experimentalfilm #outdoorphotography #instalandscape #solarlocket #alternativephotography #alternativeprocess #processart #horrorart #forestphotography #portal #surreal #c41magazine #c41 https://www.instagram.com/p/CR2GFH8nve0/?utm_medium=tumblr
