Old Photo: This is a composite image consisting of 2 images. The background image of the moon was photographed through our 13" Coulter Optics Newtonian using a Minolta SR202, 35mm SLR using Ektachrome slide film with the moon slightly out of focus. The foreground image of the boy and dog on a hill was drawn on bond paper, transferred the image onto black construction paper, then cut it out using an X-acto knife, placed it on a white background and photographed it using Ektachrome. I then sandwiched the two slide frames in a printer carrier and made the final print on Cibachrome Positive print paper.
