Kids!! Look at his little toy. Maybe daddy made it,-- the handle is not store bought perfectly straight...I absolutely am ga-ga over his cute little outfit--and mom made it most likely . The hat just tickles me ---and look at his little face! ! Toooooo cute! Ya think I love this one?

Ansora,ILL.
I have chosen this photo to enlarge and frame. Would Walmart do a good job. Anyone try enlargements there?? It is blue print, and I am also wondering if I can have them do it in sepia, or black. I am hoping it is safe to take it there for this kind of thing?
Don't you have a Jo-Anne Fabrics? Their frames selection is large and decent. I don't know about Wal-Mart's quality of enlargements, but if not every detail is crisp and clean, it's gonna turn out blurred.
As for safety, the original image is preserved. A digital scanner should be safe.
But, it is a nice image of harsh child labour. ;)
The "blue image" is often referred to as a cyanotype. Here is a link to a brief overview of the cyanotype printing process: http://www.earlyphotography.co.uk/site/gloss3.html
