Church of the Oaks

In Cotati, California
Pinhole paper positive made by reversal process using safe chemicals.

( Really hard to make these without touching them at all... I was wearing nitrile gloves, and that fingerprint happened before I put it into the bleach... any touch at all leaves a mark. oh well! :)

Ned replied to Graham Hughes:

Hi Graham! Hope you are doing well.
I'm using weak and safe 3% hydrogen peroxide from the drug store plus a little citric acid.
Check out my reply to Jackie on this photo.

Also, more than you will ever want to read in this long thread at photrio.

It's a bit finicky but it's fun to see the positive image come up. And I think you will appreciate something that I like about it: the final paper that you hold in your hand is the same paper that was in the camera... made by the light from the subject at that moment. With a pinhole, the light really does come off the subject and directly onto the paper... that connects the paper to the subject in a way I like.
