A Walk in Deep Snow

I actually took this pic in the mid 70's. My wife and I have always enjoyed walking outside in almost any weather. Near where we lived was a small wooded area. I had her walk away from me and I took the pic on Ektachrome slide film. I then printed the slide on litho film. Litho film registers no mid tones. It was used for creating pics with a dot pattern on them for reproduction in newspapers.

I then put the resulting negative in an enlarger (Omega 4x5, to be exact) and printed it on standard b&w paper.

Comments welcome.

Jon,
thanks for the "Walk in Deep Snow" and down memory lane. I remember Litho well.

I like the photo very much...not the usual thing one processes. There is so much to learn that cannot be done in one lifetime...One of the things to be added to the "Kick the Bucket List ". lol
