Contact on a contact sheet


I cropped this from a contact sheet, a sort of "down and dirty" photo printing method used to save developing costs.  The photographer would select the best from a group and printed only those at full quality.  If you look closely, you will see some imperfections that wouldn't have appeared in a published work.  The title for the sheet was "A Very Special Friend" which was a 1968 soft core movie about two young men who follow each other around LA and end up on a romp in Griffith Park.  Unforunately I haven't been able to find any scenes or the names of the handsome actors.
