Description
This is me. Taken by my father on the day I was born.

I found it in my attic a couple of weeks ago while getting something.

Scanned from a 8 x 10 print on glossy paper. I added a yellow tone to match the photo - somehow the scanner did not get it.

I have no idea what film was used and all I know about the camera is it's a Praktica TL something. I guess he used a prime lens (he only had two zoom lenses and around 15 primes in his big case which was discovered at my grand parents' house.)

Along with this I found a lot of negatives and slides. Colour and black & white. I also found a smaller print of this; around 2 x 3.

I love the grain in this. I really want to find the film just to see what was used... definitely black & white though.
