I really love that they planted #borage together with #calendula & #feverfew #plants 😍 So many pollinators were flying around this small area & feeding on the flowers.
There's sorrel growing closer to ground in the patch too.

Developing #AnalogueFilm - #PhotoNegatives using #Caffienol - coffee based photo developer.
#Recipe we used yesterday is in photos with detailed AltText.

We did 1 batch for 1 minute. 2nd batch was 1.5 minutes. I think if we left it for 2 minutes, we'd see better contrasts in the negatives. The photo negative samples from both experimental batches are below.

Using coffee based photo developer. 1 minute developing time produced these #PhotoNegatives 😊
Joshua is holding negatives up against Iya's white dress, to see the images better. I was doing that during the workshop too 😅

Every attendee had their portrait taken at the workshop. Photography was done by Suzi & Joshua. We developed the film negatives on site, right after.

We learned how to prep & load #AnalogueFilm onto silver plates with a portable #darkroom bag. I love #HandsOnLearning workshops. I learn best by practicing what is taught with some instructors' guidance.

Everyone who attended, loved the workshop.

Wark Street Commons Community Garden. Very small & packed with #biodiversity. Lots of #edible & #medicinal #plants are growing there. Public is free to gently harvest to eat/use as holistic medicine from this garden 💗
Located in a small multi-use community park.

Short vid clip of Joshua & Kemi talking, while first analogue film negative is getting developed.
We used a coffee based developer for first 2 batches of negatives. First set was 1 minute. Second set was 1.5 minutes.

The #AnalogueFilm camera used at the #CreativeWorkshop yesterday.

The #Graflex #CrownGraphic aka Graflex #PacemakerCrownGraphic is a #LargeFormat press #camera introduced by Graflex Inc. in 1947. The lesser known Crown Graphic is commonly mistaken for the Graflex Speed Graphic which is often regarded as the most famous press camera of all time. The mistake is easy to make, however, since the two cameras are identical apart from an additional focal plane shutter on the speed.

I had a great time at the indigo & plant-based #AnalogueFilm processing workshop, at Wark St Commons Community Garden, in #QuadraCommunityVillage 😀

Learned a lot. Got to enjoy hands-on practice at blending different processing fluids & developing photos at the workshop.

I'm quite tired now. Really need to eat & rest. I met some wonderful fellow creatives. I'm keen to learn & do more of these experimental, alternative photography processing manual techniques.
I recruited 2 new activist volunteers too, for free Palestine actions.
