A young super (opera speak for "extra") that appeared with me in Pittsburgh Opera's 2011 production of Turandot.

Yashica T5 with on-camera flash. Kodak Tri-X 400 in D76 (1:1).

This is a scan of a paper print -- not a negative scan. As such, for me it was an exercise in "post processing" using traditional darkroom methods. There was a lot of contrast between the boy's hair and the white of his costume. To control that in the print, and retain shadow and highlight detail, I used a 1.5 multigrade filter.

Omega B600 enlarger. 5x7 print on Ilford RC multigrade paper. Ilford chemicals.

I must find the boy's mother -- I have a big pile of mistakes to send her.

7/31/12: Uploading a different enlargement, with some very slight corrective processing to more truly represent the paper print.

Lovely portrait. What a gentle smile and expression. Did you tone this, or is it the paper?
