Sonatas XII-71 (Faith)

A Lutheran church in its time;
A cross on the top of the steeple to shine.
A light to guide people toward the divine -
This church was built in 1899.

Emanuel Evangelical German Lutheran Church in Herman, Wisconsin. A nice example of the local stone and brick 19th century churches. I am not sure if this one is still a church, or may have been sold to be converted into a house. The photo was taken in August of 2016 with a Pentax 67 medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens on Ilford HP4+ 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.

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 or unmounted. Please contact me if interested. Thank You.
