Thistlecone Way-2

Houses along Thistlecone Way in Durham, North Carolina. Though by no means historic, the houses in this neighborhood show many aspects of older, colonial architecture, and are nicely set in the pine trees. The photo was taken in December of 2013 with a Nikon FTn Photomic 35 mm SLR equipped with a 50 mm f/1.4 Nikkor-S.C. Auto lens on Ilford FP4+ 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 Classic FB 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.
