Now, cameras automatically load film. But in the old days, after loading new film, you'd have to click the shutter a bunch of times to advance the film. And of course, some image of the floor, or the sky... or someone nearby would end up in the film. I used to discard those images, but then I started to wonder 'Why don't these make the cut?'.
