I used to turn my nose up to frames that had light leaks or other artifacts that felt more like a ruined image than something to find beauty in. In a digital age with AI humming not so quietly at most corners of our modern life, maybe those light leaks brought on by being the last frame of a roll, being the least protected by that 120mm paper backing, maybe it's a bit more like magic to enjoy rather than a flaw to be forgotten. I remember earlier this year after developing and scanning this frame, that those imperfections are part of what I love about it. With immediacy and a pursuit of perfection in the modern age, perhaps an analog image with light leaks is a reminder of how delightful imperfection can be; if not preferable.
