Back of the Buildings

8404-1 scanLooking east from Corcoran Street at the rear of the buildings that face Main, with their backs facing Ramseur, in Durham, North Carolina. The generations of overlaid painted signs makes for an interesting montage of advertising. The photo was taken in December 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.
