Video - Print: Boy Carrying Large Box "Families of the Dump" Series, Mae Sot Thailand 2013

This is one in a series of 4 exposures I made of the boy carrying this large box like thing on his back through the dump garbage. All 4 images have some merit but I like the box isolated against the white sky (makes it look heavier) in this photo along with the positions of the back cardboard figure and the head looking down of the bicycle fellow in the background. If I ever get a show for "Families of the Dump" at a mid level Canadian Gallery/Museum this image will probably make the cut.

Here is a video of version 2 of this print::


Version 3, contrast +1/2 to #4 and 10 second extra burn on bottom edge.
