Two rolls from the monsoon

Developing film shot in the rain, and learning to love the frames that went wrong.

Half the frames were soft. Water on the lens, my hands shaking from the cold, a bus that moved just as I pressed the shutter. I used to throw those away.

Now I keep them. A blurred photograph remembers what it felt like to be there. A sharp one only remembers what it looked like.
