I'll often get comments on my film photos, "nice processing". Actually, I don't do anything to my film shots except crop.
So the visual effect above is not created by me in some fit of artistic inspiration in Photoshop... as if!
Rather I apply a process that increases the "design space" of the image through a process that at every step introduces random change:
* use a cheap camera whose lenses and focus are imperfect
* use expensive film that super-saturates
* process the film in the wrong chemicals
* don't look at what you're shooting
* shoot out moving car
* put exposure on manual, which results in a random exposure time
Each element of randomness increases the number of things the picture might become. I just can't tell ahead of time where it might end up.

Heh, well, so you don't do much "post-processing"... all of what you describe above could be called "pre-processing". Still, the effects are often novel, and sometimes do look like some artistic thing that you carefully planned...
Nice wash of tones and colours in the abstract above.

your nonrandom decisions expand the likelihood that something unexpected, and perhaps interesting, will happen. and they do happen
