A | Angles, aperture plates, and an asterisk -[ FAFM '24 ]- >>Explored<<

Kicking off my second year of FAFM-ing with three As in one arrangement.

Aperture plates, this particular style used in Simplex X-L and later Simplex 35 projectors, serve to mask off the full film frame down to the correct aspect ratio. Mouse over the black handles for more information.

The asterisk, other than the scale of the symbol, needs no further explanation on my part, because the Wikipedia link gives such exhausive information on the little character.

The background, an old pillowcase used last year for my letter-M entry, was selected for its geometric pattern. Its angular contribution to the letter-A theme was an afterthought. ;)
