Jack

I captured this image back in May and struggled to print it as the contrast of the neg was pretty low and under exposed. Having tried various papers I decided to lith print it and this is the result.

Jack is my nephew and was attending a steam traction engine rally as my brother runs the traction engine that has been in our family since the late 19th century. Jack was covered in soot and looked like a modern interpretation of a Victorian street urchin. Using a vintage camera gave a nice feel to the image and I had to guess the exposure and focal distance before he moved! I got the exposure a little wrong but the focal distance isn't bad.
