The Wonderment of Youth

The Wonderment of Youth

Even dragons are not out of place in the imagination of children.

The tail end of the dragon on the roof of the Providence Children’s Museum. Crossprocessing Velvia F slide film really oversaturated the red and increased the contrast. The Diana camera created a soft light leak on the top of the tail and some slight vignetting. No digital manipulation.

This image is featured in the XPro – Cross Processed – Photography group.

    Not to mention the absolutely great composition -the way the tail draws the eye down, and the non-conformist perspective angles. Very nice.

    This is a beautiful shot! I love your photography and your choice of media. I’m a big fan of cross processed film, out of date film and plastic cameras! I love the otherworldly view of reality they give.
    Well done!
