Old Gravenstein

This is a remnant apple tree from orchards that were in our area over 100 years ago. Its trunk is hollow and has 3 big holes in it, but somehow it still hangs on. Many years I've made pies from its apples, but this year it did not manage to grow any.

This is a new direct positive process developed by Ricardo Leite and Joe Van Cleave. You are looking at the same photopaper that was in my coffee can pinhole camera, not an inverted scan or contact print. It uses hydrogen peroxide and citric acid instead of more toxic and dangerous chemicals like potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid. This particular one was made even more safely by using weak 3% hydrogen peroxide like you can buy at any drugstore.
