Today I invite you to return to the beginning of my tests and research into alternative developers. In fact, a year ago, I carried out my first processings in this type of developer. I started by using old expired black and white and color film. I had carefully inherited them from my photographer father, telling me that these emulsions could perhaps be useful to me later.
Forty years have passed, and in the summer of 2023 in the middle of a heatwave, I decided, out of curiosity, to use them to begin my experiments in alternative developers. Here, temperatures were commonly around 35 degrees. What’s better than taking refuge in your little lab and developing to keep cool?
