Of this image Chris says, '....as certain film gets older it starts to degrade and fall apart, yet i find beauty in the decay that marks the passage of time. even more, the image above is a scan of something that you are supposed to discard...."
My pennyworth;
It reminds me of pseudo-solarization.
It also reminds me of the textual and depth feeling of daguerrrotype images – and as Chris says brings many new dimensions of meaning about time – and death and resurrection and ‘being saved’.
There is a wonderful section about a contemporary user of daguerrotype in the brilliant BBC DVD 'The Genius of Photography'
