Coffee - is there no end to its uses?

Via Peter Martin's blog I found this recipe for using coffee to develop film.
 
With just the addition of some vitamin C Powder and some washing soda you can create a developer and fixer to develop your films - apparently its quite a trend.
 
I think it must be time to find my old Patterson developing tank and fire up the Canon T50 with a black and white roll!
 
Coffee - I swear it can do anything!

  1. Apart from my love of all things coffee I've always been an avid photographer. I've always found it fascinating that the cultural similarities they both share.

    1. Full proof to do, impossible to master.

    2. Dictated by, but not limited by technology.

    3. People are always finding new ways to do old things.

  2. Indeed - also both can be a mix of art and science, and can be done either with very cheap equipment or extremely costly equipment.
