Sonatas III-1 Gordon The Golfball (Arrival-The Tour)

When Gordon from Top-Flite rolled up for a visit
He knocked on my door, and I called out, "What is it?"
He said, "Not 'What' but 'Who', you invited me long ago,
When you were a caddy, but eight sibs! I said NO!”

“At the club yesterday, I heard you tell Jack
You had an apartment. You're away from the pack!
Since I know all the balls who sleep in your sack
I thought I'd come for a tour, keep it simple, just give me the facts.”

This photo was taken in March 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 Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 50 mm f/2.8 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 on 11” x 14” archival board. Please contact me if interested. Thank You.
