Starting Fires

Sunburn Chris McCaw


Leslie Brown has a post featuring the work of Chris McCaw.


"This new project initially began completely by accident. In 2003 an all night exposure of the stars made during a camping trip was lost due to the effects of whiskey. Unable to wake up to close the shutter before sunrise, all the information of the night’s exposure was destroyed. The intense light of the rising sun was so focused and intense that it physically changed the film, creating a new way for me to think about photography."


Another advantage of film?
