The child of an accident, this image is the most beautiful
mistake I have ever made. At the end of March 1997, I
photographed claret cup cactus in southern Utah. That same week
I made a trip up Little Cottonwood Canyon to try for a evening
shot of White Pine Lake. I was using Kodachrome 64 in a film
camera. Unlike the digital cameras you use today, I never had
any preview of what my photo would look like until after the
film was developed. I still don't know how my image got double
exposed. Perhaps I wanted to change from Kodachrome to
Fujichrome and later when I re-inserted the Kodachrome I forgot
to wind the film forward, or I may have remembered but wound it
forward to the wrong spot. I must say, quite by accident the
composition of these two images fit together perfectly,
and quite by accident the exposures fit together gorgeously.
Some of the flowers seem to be peering at us from under the
water. This image gives clear support to the expression,
"Everything happens for a reason." |
