In seclusion 'neath the sunshine with trees all around -
Reflecting in the cool water of the pool that I found -
At last I knew what it meant long long ago
To feel I was the first one to come to this place no one has been to
This place that 'No One Else Can Know'....
This photo was taken in September of 2015 with a Minolta X-570 35 mm SLR equipped with a 50 mm f/1.7 Minolta MD 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 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.
