negative exchange negative

For the negative exchange project I think that Grace's printing of Caitie's negative (the corn field) was the most successful. It was successful because it demonstrated how strongly choices made post film development can change the final image and its reading. The pair of prints emphasize how cropping, contrast, exposure time, and inclusion of negative frame can change the meaning of the work. Not only did Grace print Caitie's negative with different visual qualities than Caitie, but the outcome evoked entirely different emotions and responses from the viewer.
