The Lifeguard
A
lifeguard on a call at Fullerton Beach in Chicago, Ill. The photo was taken in July of
1982 with a Ricoh Singlex TLS 35 mm SLR equipped with a 135 mm f/3.5
Pentax Super Takumar lens and a Litematic 2X teleconverter
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.
