Plant and friend, as an actual real paper positive.

This was shot directly on paper in a Polaroid 230 and then reversed. The reversal process is actually super simple – developer, citric acid, hydrogen peroxide until it’s completely white, turn the lights on, developer again. I’ll have to order things in the right concentration, this took like an hour for me. But it works, even if you only follow half the instructions. And it’s nice to go from camera to final photo with none of these weird computer things involved.

Also, you’ll notice, it’s actually sort of in focus this time. All the good things. Exposure time ~10 seconds.
