Rebuild and Suppress

*Cleaned dust marks up to produce a smoother background - 12th May 2010*

The follow up image to the 'Repress and Restrain' which was included in the same photoshoot for college.

I again exposed for 30 seconds, straight after the previous image had finished exposing. This image recorded the rather burnt paper by this stage and a few wispy (I think this effect looked really good) bits of something.

As required by my photography course, I developed the film myself, then printed this image in a darkroom before scanning it onto the computer. That is also why there may be a few finger marks and dust on this image.
The film is also black and white as that's also required by my photography course for the first year.

I think this is one of my best images from my college work.


You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
Rebuild and suppress
-Ruled by Secrecy
