A Mistake Worth Repeating
Yet another roll of 127 film that I ran through my 53-year-old Ansco Cadet. I’ve been trying to put together a small portfolio of images taken with the Ansco, but it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. I lost the last roll of film I shot with it before I could get the roll developed, and it’s pretty easy to see from the scans above that my latest roll had some issues.
Seems I was unknowingly overlapping exposures this time around. Oops! But even though I was bummed when I first saw the negatives, out of curiosity I decided to scan them anyway while preserving the overlapping frames. I must admit, I kind of like the results. Might be a mistake worth knowingly repeating 
The image above shows the three complete scans that were done at the lab, and I added some crops below to show more detail:
Totally digging the multiple Suki frames here.

Dude. I have to say. This can be another small portfolio. I’d experiment some more if I were you.

wow, that’s a great effect! Absolutely love it. It reminds me of Corinne Vionnet, she did a great series of photographs with overlapping: http://www.corinnevionnet.com/site/1-photo-opportunities.html

I love these multiple exposure shots! I spend forever creating this effect on photoshop! They look ace.

Got a very lomo feel and even though it was a mistake this time I think you could get some very nice effects with this with a bit of practice. Very nice!

That’s the beauty of film – so many more chances to make mistakes!

I love how the overlaps still “make sense” and tell a story about that whole day we spent together. With great colors and subjects, this is a giant art piece!

A little overlap can be good.
