Salt, 2023
One night camping at the seaside we got robbed. The two cameras I had with me got stolen. A week later the thief was caught and the police had found the cameras. Both of them had died in the sea and their mechanical components had seized. I took out the roll of film from inside the salty Nikon FM and put it through the developer. Surprisingly there were pictures on it. Large parts of the emulsion had been lost due to the seawater which got inside the camera.

The roll of film from the Nikon, which I shot in the time before the sun set behind the horizon, was still inside the camera. And it appeared that the backdoor had not been opened yet.

I am guessing this is because the entire roll had soaked in salty water. Nevertheless, there are pictures on it. These are the pictures.
