I have been doing some research and I've found something that has me just a little excited!
There has been a long history in photography of experimentation to find the chemicals that will react and produce either a negative or positive image. As a lot of these "alternative" processes require chemicals that include heavy metals they are probably not conducive to a long and healthy life if things go astray. But I've just found a recipe for a negative developer made from instant coffee and washing soda!
The only problem it mentions is that it will quickly start to smell like old, burnt, wet coffee dregs but I can cope with that.
I fully expected this blog to progress from pinhole to large format and then to alternative processes but not so soon.
If you want to start without me look here...
