Photos of Photos?



These are some test prints i made using coffee as a developer.

Yes, COFFEE as a developer. i love coffee even more now.

i guess the caffeic acid in the coffee acts as a mild reducing agent (in the chemical reaction that develops the paper or negatives), you add baking soda to neutralize the pH and voila! you get a nice warm and coffee stained print!

only two more days of class!
