Happy Mistake


Back in the old, old days, before digital photography - In April 1985 I was in California for a conference. I took a picture of daisies at the Los Angeles Temple. Then I took the film out of the camera to use a different kind of film. When I put the first film back in the camera I was in San Louis Obispo visiting a friend who used to live in Worthington. When the film was processed, I discovered this double image. I'd forgotten to advance the film when I put it back in the camera. 

I liked the effect so much that I spent weeks, and lots of film, trying to recreate another "mistake" like this. I was never able to get one that looked as good as this one.
