I have been digitizing my photo collection which is literally thousands of negatives and slides. I took this photo circa 1977. I was experimenting with a Yashica twin lens reflex. I know the photo is not quite straight and the 45 years have not been good for the negative, but it still has an emotional impact to me. Comments and criticisms (good or bad) are welcome.

Found a 35mm slide that is a little better than the 120mm originally posted.

Always a poignant subject, and desperation is nothing new. Well shot. If you have Photoshop, you can correct for the lens distortion and straighten. In Photoshop, the distortion can be corrected in Edit > Transform. Rotate using the Crop tool. These capabilities are also in Lightroom, of course. If you're not sure how to do this, you can Google for excellent tutorials.
