Glowing Door

The mid-winter sun reflecting off one closet door onto another, causing it to glow in a very soft, luminous manner. The peeling paint and old woodwork speak of long years of habitation and lifetimes. This picture was taken in my apartment in North Wicker Park, in Chicago, Ill. The photo was taken in January of 1982 with a Ricoh Singlex TLS 35 mm SLR equipped with a 55 mm f/1.7 Prinz Auto Rexatar lens on Kodak Tri-X Pan film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Prinz 35 enlarger and a 50 mm f/3.5 Vivitar-LU lens on Kodak Elite Fine Art Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done 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 on 11” x 14” archival board. Please contact me if interested. Thank You.
