Hi Guy, I loved the picture! I'll try coffee developer soon in the future. I understood that the print was developed in coffee isn't it? Was the negative too? Thanks Joao > The picture can be seen at: > http://www.p at ???/discussion/upload/images/pose_cafe.jpg

Andy, Don't gorget that (yet another) turkey season is fast approaching, 3d picture frame goes from chicken to turkey size so better think big camera format, something like pumpkin size -perhaps-!!

John, I would think that the missing ingrdient might be the potassium hydroxide , which according to "The Darkroom Cookbook" is supposed to act as a developer accelerator. The print I've posted comes from my single experiment with coffee developer. I really should get back to it. Michael Georgoff was saying in a separate posting that he was going to get some from Bostick & Sullivan at http://www.bostick-sullivan.com/ I've bought from them and they are very good people. According to my catalogue, the stuff is "caustic potash" and sells for $17.50 for 500gm from them (plus shipping) (not exactly cheap!). I suspect that 500mg will take you quite some distance with your coffee. The recipe calls for only 6 rounded teaspoons of the stuff per liter of coffee.

RE: [pinhole-discussion] Coffee developer - Picture uploaded
Guy, Considering I enjoy coffee almost as much as pinhole photography, I don't see any conflicts. While I would not like to consider myself the upload gallery "police", I guess that if it started filling up with a lot of non-pinhole coffee images I might be forced to put on my pinhole sheriff's badge. Have you experimented much with the freshness and origin of the coffee you use? :-) Gregg > -Original Message- > From: Guy Glorieux [mailto:guy.glori...@sympatico.ca] > > Hi all, > > I took the liberty of uploading a print illustrating the results of > processing a print in coffee developer, as per the article > published by > Dr. Scott Williams from Rochester Institute ot Technology, at: > http://www.isc.rit.edu/~andpph/text-coffee.html > > The picture can be seen at: > http://www.p at ???/discussion/upload/images/pose_cafe.jpg > > Several words of caution though > 1.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Coffee developer - Picture uploaded
I tried developing a print in coffee once. It didn't work at all. I mixed up instant coffee at twice the reccomended dilution, printed a picture and put it in. I didnt' use baking soda, I just assumed it was used to make the soup less acidic. I didn't monitor the pH because it said the best pH was 9. I figured anything would work, but not be the best. It did not work at all. I didn't do any exposure compensation, used ilford multigrade RC paper. and left it in the coffee for over an hour. Any suggestions to what could have gone wrong?

I guess I'll have to try processing the negatives/prints from my veggie-cam in coffee...hmmm what to do with the leftover chicken from last nights dinner...perhaps a 3d picture frame? andy -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???

neat...thanks Guy. I figure there is a pinhole involved SOMEWHERE in there...if not in the negative, then the print... 8o) andy -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???
