Amputation

Back in high school, my photography teacher used to call a photo that had a hand or foot out of the frame an "amputation". It's been a pet peeve of mine ever since if I ever clipped anyone's extremities. Those are always the first to hit the garbage pile.

Well it happened the other day... I had all limbs, hands and fingers in the "light test" shot. The image on the "light test" was not nearly as aggressive as the "final shot" captured on film. Unfortunately, the film shot is an amputation. That's what you get when you shoot with film and the second front side grind is waaaay faster than the first one!

Sorry Gilles for cutting off your hand! Sorry photo teacher (Jensen)! C'est la vie.
