Just be decent to him, he responds to that, shining him on tends to make him put on his "bored, so bored" face. Why was the PD taking an interest in your taking photo's?

Why was the PD taking an interest in your taking photo’s?

If the light bleed is a "happy mistake", then it requires no effort. If the photographer is putting some effort into making a good photograph, then there are no "happy mistakes", only 'happy photographs'. You did not answer my question. And I do not consider light bleed a "happy mistake".

Many modern photographers actually consider light leaks to be aesthetically pleasing, "happy mistakes" that enhance the film quality of the photos. in fact, a whole genre of cameras - toy cameras like the Holga, Diana, and all Lomo's - are created around the idea of light leaks, grain and the "happy mistakes" that happen in the sometimes unpredictable equation of photographer+ camera + film + developing. are you a photographer? this is an honest question. as someone who takes photos myself (non-professionally) and has spent time around many photographers: light leaks come from the CAMERA, not the photographer, and are not necessarily considered unpleasant or incorrect. this means the photographer can be aware that they may happen when using a given camera, but cannot control them.

Welcome to the internet I guess, you give people anonymity and they revert back to their middle school self.

If you hate the subject matter so much, I have no idea how you even stumbled on this site. I'm sure you're just as "annoying and trite" as these images. Joshua, you have an amazing eye and a great heart. You see something special in everyone you meet and your talent reflects that. You’re reading the Mission Mission blog.
