Hi there -Β I'm afraid this was long ago, and the deviantart stock account where I got the photo has now closed.
You can try the following sources, though - they have fabulous vintage photos:

That must be the best or at least one of the very few of the very best deviations ever on the deviantart com.

Nah, you're welcome. It is, I presume, the poetry behind this work!(Even if there would not heave been the Text-collage, it would have been poetical)

Thank you! It's one of my favorite quotes, too. (But I am prone to wishing wistfully, instead of just getting on with changing my life!)

this is really amazing work. i've been experimenting with digital collage lately and have wanted to try working with transparencies to sort of replicate the process traditionally. you've given me a lot to think about! thanks so much for the inspiration

That's how I got started on transparencies, too. Was looking for the "multiply" effect on real surfaces. I find that digital and traditional feed each other in a kind of a loop - a lot of my digital learning has been about trying to get an effect I can create with traditional, and vice versa.
Have fun - let me know how it goes
