Sonatas VI-1 (exposure) Signs of Community

No better place to see and be seen
Than exposed on the beach in the summer sun
We might find the one we seek
But caution: “watch your footing”!

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.

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.
