New england

I almost abandoned this series myself. I failed epically. Say it with me now, "no film through the X-ray machine when you fly!" It ruins it. From here on, it didn't matter how hard I had to battle TSA, the film did not get X-rayed.

However, I somehow managed to mess up even worse than the X-ray did. I developed the surviving film at a warm water temperature, destroying the clarity of the salvageable images. Also, this trip was early in the process, so I was not aware that I should take more pictures on my phone too, just in case. So, I got nothing. Just a few poor-quality prints. Zero star performance from me.

As angry as I was, this experience was so necessary for my journey as an artist. I had multiple failed attempts of access, learning that I could not just simply walk into an abandoned building, I needed to be let in. What I did not know was how much better at it I was going to become.

Nevertheless, enjoy the remnants of my film from the remnants of New England.
