Sonatas XII-8 (Main Street)

Dino calls us to step and view closer -
Remember those signs of when we were younger!

An old service station in Old Ashippun, Wisconsin, with the Sinclair dinosaur out front, certainly brings us back to our early days. Memories of motoring back then! The photo was taken in September of 2016 with a Minolta X-570 35 mm SLR equipped with a 50-135 mm f/3.5 Minolta MD lens on Ilford HP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 50 mm f/2.8 Schneider Componon-S lens on Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done archivally using Kodak chemistry, with a final toning with Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner, treated with hypo clearing agent, and washed in an archival washer.

All aspects of this print were handled in an authentic, pre-digital manner. Archival processing will ensure the maximum life span for this print.

This print (1/25) on 8” x 10” paper is available for purchase, mounted or unmounted. Please contact me if interested. Thank You.
