Sonatas XII-29 (Homes)

On a main street there is an old brick house, a barn star on the side;
Porch and railings reminiscent of boardwalks met on a Western ride.

A cute house right on the Main Street in Woodland, Wisconsin. This house features a prominent “barn star” on its side; not uncommon around here. Is this a symbol for “good luck,” or does it indicate a veteran resides here? Either could be the case. The photo was taken in July of 2019 with a Pentax 67 medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens on Ilford HP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 100 mm f/5.6 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.
