Sonatas XII-101 (Scenery)

At the edge of the marsh - winding with such graceful ease
Water meets scenery full of reeds and surrounded by trees.
So many go boating round this graceful bend
A fine place to view nature with family and friends.

A water channel on the edge of the Horicon Marsh State Wildlife Area next to the town of Horicon, Wisconsin. Many a boat passes into the marsh along here. 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.
