Tintype
This is a very rustic looking print, yet it almost takes on a plastic like quality. I like the progression from dark to light as you move upwards.
 
It's wonderful to see this image again. Beauty in subtlety and simplicity, and the joy of craft and of caring about what another person cares about.
