Triplet - Self Portaits (III and IV)

@redredgray @charliedontsurf I made these in thoughts of you guys. Here is close to a triplet. Taking pictures of myself taking pictures of the bridge. I took the bridge picture when I got there. The "unsafe bridge" sign was actually in my way. As I was taking pictures of the bridge, a guy and his sons, I assumed came and were playing - climbing on the bridge. I was trying to get a shot of them, but it didn't work out. I forgot I took the picture of the sign. I always figure I'm going to have to deal with hooligans while I am recreating. I haven't been able to scan the pictures of the bridge yet. But you were both there as I snapped these. May 31, 2020. Kodak 400 Max processed in fading C22 process. Random Dodge Truck that worked out well in post. "artist's" self portrait - picture of the artist taking a picture of the artist taking a picture. C22 on C41 film, especially stale C22 is interesting. CD-3 Developer is not as active as CD-4 (C41 developer) and so between the CD-3 and I think the benzyl alcohol, the pictures were underdeveloped (even at 14 minutes). Although I also did develop them at room temp - 21C / 72F. Perhaps a warmer bath would have more fully developed the film. However, I think the colors were very muted for the same reason. There is no real value in processing C41 film in C22. C22, at least the version most will use at home, is pretty close to ECN-2 (minus the benzyl alcohol) so it would probably be more useful to explore the color variations between C41 and ECN-2 - which also uses CD-3 as well as Process E-6. I was a bit disappointed in the truck pics as photos but photoshop helped make some pretty good art of them.

    @charliedontsurf I'm not above a dedication lol. I actually snapped the picture on the B&J as I heard the shutter snap on the Nikon, so this is a true action photo lol.

    @charliedontsurf @mike1allison - MAD cool. The camera inside enters the camera outside ... The camera outside enters the camera inside ... Q: So where is the subject? A: In the mind of the subject. Far out, Mike. It looks like in the effort of catching the triplets you performed a simultaneous session all yourself - authentically by pure chance. Simon you're a natural synchron - you could sack the theory and wouldn't miss a thing.

    @redredgray Cory, I finally got around to writing to you this morning, well a start anyway and now after 3 weeks of radio silence I see your comment here, its like you're in my head man, its another example...@mike1allison Mike I'm so glad that I had the instinct to introduce the two of you, the way you've embraced the concept, your enthusiasm, you're an inspiration sir! Looking forward to when the planets align again, can't be long now surely...?

    @redredgray @charliedontsurf at this moment, the subject was in the mind of the subject and also materializing on the emulsion in the in the other subject (subjects camera) - and, while the intended subject between the subject and his camera are the same, the image taken, will not really/wholly represent the subject conceptualized in the subject's mind, any more than this picture wholly represents the intended subjective image imagined by the subject when he set the scene. lol figure that one out....
