Born and raised in slum

Shot taken near a drug-infested Klong Tuy slum in Bangkok, Thailand. The boy

was the leader of a little gang of 4 kids. TheCross-processed from Fuji Relia 100.

This is cross processed? Unusual choice given the subject matter. Caer to elaborate on what you are trying to achieve with cross proccing?

Nothing in particular. I never cross from a neg so I thought I try it for once. Kinna like the odd skin color apart from the portrait itself so I thought I post it up for feedbacks.

The cross processing has given this photo an old-age effect, much like the pictures I see on old chinese food packaging- biscuit tins, etc.

I like the cross processing idea. I have to agree that it's an interesting choice given the subject matter. Not quite typical, which I guess makes it good??

Thanks all for comments and ratings. It does produce an old-photograph looks. Tom- I agree with you, this one doesn't qualified as a good stand-alone journalistic-type photograph for it's absense of contextual info. Andrea- I too like the neg-slide cross idea and may burn a few more roles with various other subjects.
