Sonatas XI-36 (Seeking)

“Do you think this group believes enough to save the forest and you?”
Brendan asks the Rock Face as the Faeries go flying through
Rock Face laughs – “Oh! They believe! They see me as well as you do
The one with the video setup thinks his camera understands me too!”

“Did you see the way he was clicking at me,
And he often talks to his camera too!”
Brendan tried to explain Bluetooth to the Rock Face
But it was something he just couldn’t do.

Rock Face told Brendan to lead them all out
“Stay on the path – follow that white-haired sprite
She’s doing what I asked, waiting there for you -
Sitting under that tree up ahead just on the right.”

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.
