Can you see the face on this old camera?

As a boy in New Guinea I was given an old Box Brownie to learn to take photographs. It was not this one in my current collection, but still very likely the same Model D (made between 1946 and 1957). I was fascinated to witness the activities in the mission darkroom, as one of the staff showed me the magic of producing an image on a plain sheet of photographic paper. Ian Stevenson helped me to make a light box to set up a mini darkroom in our bathroom (I would have been 8 or 9 at the time). Those 2 and a 1/4" X 3 and a 1/4" negatives were just fine for contact prints.

So this photograph could not be in digital. It had to be recorded on film. And here I was trying out a new Kodak Professional 400TX BW film with an orange filter. It was shot with my Nikon F90X camera.
