Sonatas XII-100 (Scenery)

Tall reeds and cattails - where glorious trees do abound
Walking Gold Star Trail - visions like this are easily found -
I roam in the sunshine on this glorious day
Scenery and nature surround and take my breath away.

A picturesque bed of reeds and cattails in a swampy spot in the Gold Star Trail Park of Horicon, Wisconsin. This sunny spot on the edge of the trails and reeds was inviting. The photo was taken in June of 2022 with a Pentax 67 medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens on Ilford FP4+ 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.
