Sonatas IX-9 (Allegro Cantabile)

The Sunbeams urge us onward go, as ‘Nature’s Flashlight’ spots the show -
To shine upon the sights it knows - The place where rivers overflow!
The beauty of the forest floor! A moss covered rock that seems to glow!
A Seeker always seems to find the places all the little creatures know.

“This moss could be a carpet for the tiny Forest Fae,”
“I wonder if we’ll see a few as we walk this trail today?”

16607-1 scanThe photo was taken in September of 2020 with a Pentax 67 medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens on Ilford HP5+ 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.
