Anya and a Nail
One of the major players in this photo, a big rusty nail, can’t be seen in the frame. By the time I took this shot, I had already removed it from my heel. As soon as I finished shooting, I went straight to Urgent Care to get a tetanus shot and remove pieces of my shoe’s heel that got lodged in my foot. Good times.
In any case, it was kinda hard to concentrate when I was taking these, and developing the film was a nervous ordeal – I had no idea if I was going to get anything at all. I was balancing ambient light with flash and could have easily screwed up on any of the readings. Plus, the lensbaby at wide aperture is kinda hard to focus even on the best of days, when you’re not in pain. In any case, here it goes. From where I sit, it was all worth it.
