Just "found" this part of the forum... here is a shot I developed using instant coffee as a print developer. Everybody tells me it won't work... so I keep doing it.



Here is my article on the process: http://tomoverton.images.googlepages.com/caffenol. I'm not sure if I posted this here before, but I just thought I'd share.

Cheers,
Tom

This is a wonderful image Tom!! I remember that you posted one before, and I was impressed then, and impressed now.

Here's another couple of Caffenol prints, showing some possibilities of the process...

The results can be quite surreal:




or more subtle:


I call this one Self-Portrait; Broken

All in all, I'm quite attracted to the process.

Cheers,
