Everything after that was found the same way — close, flat, and without a horizon.
On the making
A surface is a photograph with the subject removed. What is left is texture, and the light that describes it.
- Body
- Pentax SP500 No meter worth trusting at night, so the exposures were guessed and noted.
- Film
- Ilford HP5, pushed two stops Grain becomes the subject. It is not a defect here.
- Wait
- Forty minutes a frame And another twenty to talk yourself out of leaving.
