Sonatas IX-10 (Allegro Cantabile)

Farther onward we go, forward, into the light
I with my love, We look upward to the right
We see a fall of rocks, to where the sunbeams shine so bright
The Rhododendron stands guardian to this most glorious site.

A place lovely and tempting to climb up and have a sit -
I hold back my love, “Don’t put your ankles at risk!”

16619-1 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.
