I’ve been at it again.
for years I’ve been working reversal developers for making positives on photo paper onsite.
I’ve got some shallots that’ve been steeping for 15 weekends.
shallots ? yes shallots!
they aren’t just for good eating, it seems they are also for developing paper. the person who wrote about this originally steeped his shallots in alcohol for a few days or a week and it took him 3 hours to get a print. I’ve extended the time hoping to extract more of the good-stuff so when I mix it with coffee, it will do it’s thing a little faster.
if it doesn’t work, it’s just shallots.
im guessing it’s gonna smell kind of fun when I open up the jar. months ago I had the same sort of hankering and I used leeks, it gave off a nice sulfur reek.
