Double exposure, or triple

Double exposure, or triple
I've been looking back through old negatives and the other day I came
across scans the photo lab had done of this roll of film in early
2008. I figured I'd better rescan them myself since the lab was
unable to line up where one image ended and another began. Not
surprisingly, though. The developed film was uniformly black to look
at. It had already been in a camera I bought and I decided to carry
on using the roll. It was a roll of Kodak 400 film in a Fujica
STX-1N. The film jammed in that camera before the end of the roll.

So I wound it back and put it in my Olympus Pen D3, one of a series of
four or five D3s I have had. They are lovely cameras but all but one
have failed on me. This one, like the Fujica, jammed, so I removed
the film and took it in for developing.

It turns out I had miscalculated how many pictures I had taken with
the Fujica, and shot my half-frame pictures over some of them.
Additionally, the film was badly light-leaked throughout, from some
previous adventure before I owned the Fujica, so there was really
triple exposures.

Here, on the left, is the colour scan I made. I can see in full-frame
someone who was visiting me in my office. I *think* I know who it is,
but I am not sure. The half-frame one, superimposed, is of my cat
Minnie on a shelf. The lighting was quite different in the two
exposures, so I converted to b&w first with a blue filter (middle) and
then (on the right) with a yellow filter, each giving a little more
clarity to one of the exposures.

My favourite part of the picture is the visitor's hands though. I may
try printing just that part of the frame.
