what is high key?
here's an explanation from wikipedia:...
"High-key lighting is usually quite homogeneous and free from dark shadows." i think about a white or very light background...not much or hardly any contrast on the subject because of a larger, more diffuse light source when i think about high key.
"Low key light accentuates the contours of an object by throwing areas into shade while a fill light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control contrast." the way i think about low key is a dark background and more of a small light source.
hoping this makes sense?

It makes me think of finding an old picture of my mother in a drawer some where that's faded a bit. Somehow..it just gives more character.
Am going to have to read that thru a few times to get it!!
That is a very cool pic - how did you process it? It's WONDERFUL. I agree with Cait - it's like coming across a gem of an old picture!
