This image was shot on a roll of Washi film, and at first I had a hard time reading the negative. Once I inverted the negative scan, my initial reaction was, 'meh'. Over time, the image as well as the aesthetic have grown on me. All of the Washi stocks give interesting looks, though they are not always repeatable. In addition, the trouble with exploring so many stocks is that you don't spend enough time with one to really get to know it. On the other hand, particular film stocks do work well for certain projects so it is worthwhile being familiar with the available choices. In terms of defining the parameters of an aesthetic, I mean. Everything is a compromise. Just gotta shoot more, I guess.
