Veterans & Chetimatches
A
very French looking building, at the corner of Veterans & Chetimatches,
in Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish, Louisiana, along
Bayou Lafourche. This building looks as if it had been transported in
toto from the French Quarter of New Orleans! The photo was taken in December of 2014 with a Pentax 6x7
MLU medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens
on Ilford FP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a
Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 100 mm f/5.6 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.
