Backlit Tubby Bub

Again, iPhone re-photograph of old b&w print approx 10x8".

His mother liked it. I like pictures against the light...

 

(Photography means "Light writing" or "Light drawing", but sometimes it can give the illusion of "Light sculpting".)

 

I first thought that this was taken with my Olympus 35SP, but finding the negative revealed it was actually my Olympus Pen FT F1.4 42mm (half-frame). In this case, my cheap scanner cannot get from the negative the quality of this photograph of the 10x8 print. (For instance, it scarcely reveals the fine blood vessels under the baby’s temple. However, some of the texture here is from the paper rather than the subject.)
