Sonatas XII-52 (Life)

Boat houses line a small waterway, as in Louisiana you might say
Wisconsinites do enjoy boating and water-sport play -
Children swim or float and paddle their boats here
Men troll for Friday Fish Frys – and good local beer!

Water sports are always near to hand in Wisconsin. Here a little waterway “alley” is seen next to the Horicon Marsh State Wildlife Area. Park your boats – go in for a beer! The photo was taken in June of 2022 with 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.
