1940: This was the first photograph I made with my new Speedgraphic. It's a synchro-sunlight exposure--I used a flash to fill in the shadows and overpower the sun which gives a dark sky in the background. That takes a lot of calculating, and I lucked out and got it right. At first I printed the negative trying to keep the dark skin light and burn in the teeth for detail. Then one day, after putting the paper in the developer, the phone rang and I didn't get back to it for two or three minutes; the print was quite dark, but much more effective and I've been printing it that way ever since.
