The
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.
