Sonatas VII-10 (Grandioso con Molt'Espressione)

"Come Away! Turn About! Come! Follow me!",
I heard a low musical voice calling, enticing.
I had to go, had to follow, who could it be?
"Come now," it entreated, "Won't you come, look and see?"
I could not resist, I followed the song
A trail met my eyes and I, quick, sped along!
A rocky creature in disguise
On a cliffside met my eyes.
Singing wisdom low and deep
Faeries darting as he'd speak;
In the light trickling down - through the treetops to the ground.
Left to right faeries bound - singing faerie songs - what a sound!

The photo was taken in June of 2019 with a Minolta X-570 35 mm SLR equipped with a 50 mm f/1.7 Minolta MD lens on Kodak Professional T-Max 100 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.
