A great piece of history here. Marvellous mono photo. You're correct. the sepia toning compliments the historic feel. Thanks for your visit.

Hello Julie! So glad you took my advice and made the decision to join AW. It's a great opportunity for the wider public to view your brilliant photos. This one is particular favourite of mine. The sepia really adds atmosphere. The miner is smiling, people were a lot tougher 25 years ago. Now they can't even get off the sofa to change the channel on their TV!! Fab photo!

Artist Reply: many thanks to everyone for their comments - this was a b/w neg, but i have printed it up commercially in sepia because it kinda suits it - its not cheating! If anyone would like to buy a copy, please go to my website - www.julz.org
