Old Five Points

8420-1 scanThe sign proclaiming "Old Five Points", a 1920s vintage business district just north of downtown Durham, North Carolina. This view was taken at the intersection of Corporation and Mangum Streets. The photo was taken in December of 2015 with a Minolta X-570 35 mm SLR equipped with a 35 mm f/2.8 Minolta MC W.Rokkor-HG 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.
