Most photographers hate dust, I hate it when scanning my negatives or in the darkroom and those tiny hairs drive me insane! However as an artist who uses photography I embrace it for this project. It helps add to the “space-scape” and I can’t avoid it, I expose my negatives in open air as in they are sitting bare on a metal plate being subjected to many different forms of exposure. Worth noting with this image and many of my others the small and large white specs are actually sand and carbon.
