Anthony - a forthright composition of a subject of fascinating detail. I too am puzzled by the 'effect', how much you've played with it to make it look ... old?. It has the look of Atget, but where his blown highlights fit his pictures, the overexposed central flooring here is so washed-out that the bottom of the image simply 'gives up'.

 

I think I see what you were going with this shot but, if you're familiar with the Zone System, your murky shadows are in 'Zone II' (a guess), thus forcing your central floor highlights to or above 'Zone X' - an impossible tonal range for 35mm silver enlargment printing - or digital scanning of a 35mm negative as far as I"m aware. This circumstance can be handled fairly well with platinum/palladium contact-print emulsions or Azo printing paper in combination with intentionally-denser negatives and lots of so-called large format alternative process experience ... but how many go there?

 

Very interesting story here - not the image but the imager! What the Hell are you up to with that old little camera??
