Re: RE: What do you like about pinholes/pinhole

You can wet-contact them and get a really quick positive print. Process
the paper negative through to the water bath, put a piece of unexposed
paper in the water bath. Make a sandwich with the negative face down on
top of the emulsion side of the unexposed paper. Put both down flat on a
piece of glass or plexi, squeegee all the water out to make total
contact between the two papers. Suspend a lamp such as a clamp-on type
with a low-wattage tungsten bulb over the paper. Turn it on and off
rapidly, then process your positive image. I learned this from Pinky
Bass at a workshop when she was still working out of her
pinhole/darkroom trailer.
