Coffee Infusion

Wissahickon Creek, Fairmont Park, Philadelphia

This is a quick scan of a pinhole image processed in Caffenol C–instant coffee, Arm and Hammer, and Vitamin C.  I’ve just piloted this film developer as I set off next month for a writing retreat at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.  The blend is organic, easy to mix, and no problem throwing down a drain–so easy to take on the road.  If you’re interested in the process, see Stephen Schaub’s posts on TheFigitalRevolution.com: http://figitalrevolution.com/page/2/ and http://figitalrevolution.com/page/3/.  Schaub is working on a book to lay out the process and the variations on different films as well as advice on scanning coffee-developed negatives and related Photoshop maneuvers.

  1. This is an unusual/interesting process…..coffee to process negatives?
    Love the blurriness of this image as it slowly reveals itself.
