devmeetorama

what is it?
a picture from a vienna devmeet in a slightly overpriced irish pub in february, but actually it's 1,6 pictures

why is it so ugly?
- it's captured on ilford hp5+ that was left to rot in the camera for about 6 years and then pushed 2 stops (i thought i had loaded tri-x back then)
- and it's got me in it, unsuccessfully trying to pretend i don't know that someone is just shooting me

why does it come in that uber-cool Xpan-ish format?
because the guy who grabbed my nikkormat EL with my precious nikkor 20mm f/2.8 and took the picture of me didn't advance the film properly and the next frame overlapped

why is zort trying to hide under the table of the frame he isn't really in and biting his fist?
i think it was he who misadvanced the film, and he fears that i might find out

why is coxi looking the other way?
with his 6th photo sense, he must have felt that he would end up at the edge of the overlap zone, and to prevent getting his face cut in half, he pretends to be interested in the blabber of photographic lowlifes (anyone except him (plus a few honorary exceptions)) at the end of the table

why is the right side darker than the left side?
because the ufos trying to steal our beer are interfering with the sensor
ufos are better at interfering with analogue equipment, because flickering lights and noisy radio transmissions have more impact in the movies than rebooting screens
