Sonatas XII-22 (Main Street)

This modest brick building with its Midwestern town’s old-style lines
Is now the home of a confectionary/chocolatier’s shop; it’s divine.
Everyone in the area buys Joel’s wondrous creations -
His delicious confections are truly a beloved sensation.

Confections For Any Occasion by Joel, in Theresa, Wisconsin. A fairly bland 1913 building contains a sweet tooth’s paradise. The confections are well known and loved in the area! The photo was taken in August 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.
