Another take on the toy parrot head. This began with a scan of the original negative. The image I posted on July 4 began as a scan of a solarized print of the same negative.

Here is the porpoise head.
July 4, 2012
This is a toy parrot head. The head is on the end of a long stick. The other end of the stick has a handle with a trigger that makes the beak open and close. Good for picking things up that are out of reach, or for teasing pets. Stay tuned for the toy porpoise head.
