A little while back double exposure connoisseur Danny Marsh shot through a roll of film with some friends in Yorkshire then mailed it across the pond to good old Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I shot over the entire roll while out for work on a cold winter day and couldn't have been happier with the results. To this day I am still stoked about the way these turned out; it's such a strange feeling having absolutely no idea what you're shooting over.
For me, stumbling on interesting cars in strange locations is one of the most exciting parts about shooting in the city. I cannot explain how stoked I was to find a pristine little BMW Isetta nestled in this sunlit alley in Old City.
Originally of Italian descent, the Isetta was a quirky time for German engineering. With it's roaring 1 cylinder engine topping out at a massive 53 mph, I'm sure you can imagine what the horn sounds like. Beep Beep!
Fun Fact: All Isettas came equipped with canvas tops. Because the entire front end of the vehicle doubles as the only door, in the case of a front end collision, the roof is the only way out!
Don't be.
Caught in the middle of an epic rain storm, I was quickly winding a spent roll back into the canister when it got stuck half way. In a moment of panic, I ripped the remaining film out of the camera ruining half of the roll and allowing water to get onto the pictures that I had been able to safely get back inside.
The colored spotting is a product of water sitting on the undeveloped film for a few weeks before I was able to have it developed. It seems to have had some kind of reaction with the film. I thought the whole roll was lost but the lab was able to salvage a good number of pictures and I rather like how they turned out. These are some of my favorites.
