The Amazing, Extraordinary Story of "Wonderful Mistakes"

This is an amazing story. The story of a lazy assistant who misplaced a box full of film, outside, exposed to the weather, the heat, and the bugs. The negatives stick together, they transform; dirt, insects, and other unknown particles become part of the gelatins. The transfiguration of the original details creates new "original images" with new meanings.

Many that see these photos have a hard time believing it is the result of pure chance. It is unconceivable. Nevertheless, what I believe to be the most important skill of a photographer is the the ability to distinguish, among many shots, the one that has a real value. In this case the same principle applies. Even I, at first, thought that it was a disaster and was about to throw them away but my curiosity saved me; I almost threw these treasures in the trash!
