first contact — the small man

9 mei 2026 in

The first frame I ever shot on Tri-X. Late autumn, light failing fast, hand-held at 1/30. I missed the focus by a full step but the negative came out somehow. The man on the bench was looking at something I couldn't see — the kind of frame you only get when you stop trying to make a photograph.

Printed once, contact-only. Lives in a box of negatives I haven't sorted in years.
