Great shot! I lived in Tunisia for 1.5 years, while serving in the Peace Corps. What brought you to Tunisia.

Must be hard to print. great shot and print. I was thinking if I had to print this, I would make a print, then cut out the light area and register it on the paper, then expose the back ground and then the whole print.

Thank you all for the great feedback. Photography is full of chance (part of the joy). We literally just got off the bus when I saw him walking down the tunnel towards us. Very please with the outcome and the type of film in the camera could not have been better.

An interesting methodology. I guess a form of masking but direct on to the paper. Does that not create hard lines at the interface of the masks? Generally old school would have a glass surface above the paper to allow some softening of the edges. Intrigued because I never bother masking since it is yet another "thing" to get right.
