Sonatas XI-15 (The Awakening)

“I wouldn’t say an attorney is particularly whimsical,” Rae Anne said to me
I laughed with her assessment saying, “I really must agree!”
Beau snorted, “But you wrote the Faerie book,” he said excitedly
“Well, Beau, you race, Cecil is deep into tech, and I have a PhD in Chemistry.”

“I must admit, none of us except Dwade seems to be too creative
Yet all of us have, down inside, that spark from youth
We are born ‘Seekers’, only to lose it as we struggle to live
Our goal here is to regain the spirit and see the truth.”

At that announcement, the trail before us swirled with Fae for all to see
“Whimsy doesn’t matter,” I told the four new Seekers in the wood,

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.
