This is a photograph of a contact sheet. The contact sheet consists of several rows of negative film strips displaying a series of images. Each strip is composed of multiple frames. Most frames depict scenes of fireworks exploding in the night sky, capturing different stages of the bursts. Some frames show cityscapes or landscapes obscured by the fireworks' brightness. The layout of the sheet indicates a traditional photographic process, with the sequence of exposure visible from left to right and top to bottom. In a few frames, the contact sheet includes upside-down images showing various subjects. The contact sheet is marked with handwritten numbers and labels along the sprocket holes.
