This is the first in a series of Super 8 portraits/travelogues to come. ᴅᴀᴛçᴀ was shot last year along the Turkish Mediterranean coast and features the lovely
@fulya_guney . 🪷
Unfortunately before the trip I was unable to pick up film and opted to have it shipped from
@bhphoto to Türkiye. (Yes. I knew this was a risk. 🤭) And naturally - a few days after arriving - I received an email from
@igairport saying my package was “highly suspicious” and would not be shipped out to the coast; I could only retrieve it in person at the airport. (Why rolls of film were so suspicious I will never know. 🤣)
As I wasn’t going to be at the airport until the end of the trip, I decided to single frame the one remaining roll I had. Lolll. That way maybe I could get a few frames of everything as I went along and have the whole experience on one roll.
Everything you see is how it was shot in camera. The “normal” footage at the end was shot before I received the email and was roughly the last minute from a previous roll I had.
Sadly, I was unable to retrieve the film at the airport as it proved to be an hours long adventure across the premises. Also
@bhphoto has assured me multiple times that I would be reimbursed for the imprisoned film at
@igairport . I have yet to see it. But c’est la vie. At least I got this out of it! Enjoiii! 💫
And shout out to
@negativelandfilm for yet another gorgeous process/scan!
