Disappearing Act 11 is a 35mm B&W film shoot, developed, and printed by me. I do really like digital photography a lot but film just has a very unique look that sets into a different art form.
I'd like to note* I will no longer be working in film based media. I am presenting the last of what I plan to post from film over the next couple weeks. *
I shot it as one shot made on 11 consecutive negatives. Originally I conceived this would print at about 12-18 inches tall and 12 feet long. I was unable to find a way to print this on Silver Gelatin paper at that size.
I ended up going with a 3 image "shot" that was much more manageable and I previously published it here on STEEMIT.
For that work and all my multiple negative images, I had to design and build a custom negative holder in order to print that shot. It was a lot of fun, and believe me took 200+ times longer than working with digital files.
Anyway, I have scanned in the full 11+ frame image (which is not easy to do, my negative scanner is to small) and I am presenting it here online.
I know due to odd proportions it may not present well on small laptops and especially phones. I apologize for this - remember it is ideally much larger.
I hope you enjoy and enjoy the new year as well.

I love the idea of using an entire roll to tell a little story. It's a shame you don't plan on working with film again - but look forward to seeing other things!
Thanks, film is amazing and the efforts are worth it. I just don't have access to a quality darkroom and despite the efforts "being worth it" artistically, the chemical exposure sorta sucks... oh well! Digital it is.
