Sonatas VII-3 (Allegretto)

I blinked to awake from my reverie,
I must have slept, what do I see?
I quickly tread without delay
I let the Fae Folk lead the way!
Faeries flying and singing so rapidly they
Begin to fuse together; multiplying they play!
Dancing and singing to wild music all day
Till in my sight and my senses they form a “Forest Monet”!

The photo was taken in July 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.
