Old Film

This is my entry for the Theme Thursday challenge "Black and White". I have used this image of Frida before but wanted to do a study in black and white. The background here is from scrapbookgraphics and I added old text and a film strip (assorted artist papers). I then converted all images to black and white and reduced opacity and lighting levels for a grainy old photo collage.
