You know that feeling looking back at some past thing or moment or event that now feels like it was a turning point, or at least more significant than the moment you first experienced it?

Without getting into the details too much, I think in the future that’s what this image will be to me.

All I did at the time was set up the camera, slide a chair out of a corner, and turn out the lights. Darkness was a mistake; the light on my phone amended the situation.

Perhaps some day I'll rediscover this exposure test and remember how it lead to new methods. Certainly this will hold more significance than just the first intentional image I ever took with the new Hasselblad; in the future I might recognize it as the first intentional image I ever made.
