Snow Leopard

A snow leopard in the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Ill. I was struck by the way he was keeping his eye on me, but was resting his forehead on the cage bar. Tired, or just fed up? The photo was taken in October of 1981 with a Ricoh Singlex TLS 35 mm SLR equipped with a 55 mm f/1.7 Prinz Auto Rexatar lens on Kodak Tri-X Pan film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Prinz 35 enlarger and a 50 mm f/3.5 Vivitar-LU lens on Kodak Elite Fine Art Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done using Kodak chemistry.

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 on 11” x 14” archival board. Please contact me if interested. Thank You.
