Description When I was your age, if you happen to be 14, I experimented with photographic techniques, I would read about, in the how to books.

This technique, I will call ghost, as you can see through the subject, was done with a double exposure on a tripod.  It was just the thing for this graveyard scene, taken in the mid 1960s.

I believe the camera was an Argus Argoflex twin lens reflex on Kodak 120 black and white film, possible Super XX high speed.  This is so far the earliest negative set I have found in my collection.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.

With film it was easy to get double exposures making the ghost transparent.  I did this many times.  I used 4x5 and with tracing paper on the glass could do multiple exposures.  I miss that.  This image reminded me of that.

I've had great fun digging through old negatives.
