The
CSX Barr rail yard at 136th & Halsted in Riverdale, Illinois.
The photo was taken in August of 2018 with a Minolta X-570
35 mm SLR equipped with a 50 mm f/1.7 Minolta MD lens
on Ilford FP4+ 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.
This print (1/25) was made in January, 2020 on 8” x 10” paper.
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 is available for purchase for $200, mounted or unmounted.
