Cracked Birthday Photos

Birthday photos showing a web of fine dark or light lines across the surface, with flakes lifting where the cracks meet have almost always met a print that dried out and stiffened before it was bent, or a plate whose coating crazed with age. The cracked emulsion sits on top of the image of a child leaning over a cake with the candles lit, which is still there underneath.

Nothing in the birthday photo is redrawn for effect; the cracked emulsion is treated as a layer to remove and the image of a child leaning over a cake with the candles lit as the thing to keep. If the cracked area covered the cake, the candles and the party hats, the fill is inferred from what survives around it.
