Rehearsal For An Assassination



It has been a while since I last used my medium format Rolleicord, and the film I loaded was ridiculously out of date, and I'd forgotten how accurate or appropriate the settings derived from the light meter on my 35mm Pentax might be; so half of what I shot simply didn't come out in any useful way; but what did come out, the images before you now, turned out so much better than I had any reason to hope.   Obviously, they are related to the video feature I'm busy with of late, The Petrol Officer.   The section they were shot concurrently with is the seventh, which has the chapter title of An Instance of Saturnalia, though would perhaps more properly be called by the previous part's name: Rehearsal for an Assassination.
