I found several with strange light leaks, and one with bonus head cut off. Arbus: "You see someone on the street and what you notice about them is the flaw." I think the same logic applies to photos. But I was drawn even more than usual to the pictures with imperfections.
I seemed to be in an especially anti-pixel mood yesterday. By then almost all other photographers had upgraded to film. He shot glass plate negatives all the way to the end in 1927.

These folks look like they're enjoying life. Must I share my true love? Can't it stay on its side of the ocean? Does it have to bleed into everything? Every. I don't mind digital but that's another lover.
It's steaming across the sea and I'm sobbing into my hanky, the star-crossed lover.
I had prepared a long-winded digital rant here but it's pointless so I won't. It shouldn't affect the food, right? But it's there, and you think about it as you're eating. These words are like a nice restaurant with the wrong mood lighting. But yeah, at the same time it sort of is a big deal. The words are beyond the edge of the frame and don't affect the image. Sometime in the past 8 years Ilford has switched manufacturing to encode their film with a digitized look. Not only was it nonpixelated, but the typeface was more organic and attractive.
