Sonatas III-28 Gordon The Golfball (The Consequences)

But before we left, I really felt that I'd need
A memento of Gordon's visit, and with some speed.
I set up my studio lights in quite some great haste,
Then I set up my camera, and Gordon, with no time to waste.

Come on, Gordon from Top-Flite, Lord of the Seventh Hole,
I'm taking your picture - for you, fame will unfold.
Then Gordon posed proudly on my modeling lamp,
And gave his tour and his life a grand approval stamp.

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.
