I made the photographs on extremely expired Ilford XP2, hence the embedded frame-numbers from the backing paper.
I loved Once, saw it many times, and own it, of course. It was a real treat to get to chat with Glen, and it turns out hes a pretty avid photographer himself, using black and white film no less.
Nice portrait! I think the frame numbers and background noise add to it. I liked Glen a lot in Once (and of course the Commitments) -- seems like he would be an interesting guy to talk to.
I would be torn. The artifacts of the expired film are very cool and make this a really interesting and artistic piece. However, it would have been a world class portrait. I guess it IS a world class portrait, just not a classic approach
I was very torn at first. I mistakenly grabbed the wrong film back that day (I thought I was shooting PXP), but I have come to love the image regardless!Thanks for the kind words everyone!
