Porthleven, no particular plan. I was shooting on a film camera older than me — just. One camera, one lens, zone focus. Click.
A little while later, I thought the film had jammed. So I opened the back.
You're not supposed to do that. Light gets in. The frame is ruined. Except this one wasn't ruined — it was made. The light leak gave the harbour something the original frame didn't have. Something quieter and stranger. Eerie is the right word.
A happy accident. The best kind of photograph is the one you didn't entirely plan.
