source:water vol. 01, an excerpt:
a response to late-stage capitalism and escalating climate catastrophe, i collaborate with the environment to create analog images. i expose and develop photographic materials on-site, using the location’s available water supply and foraged materials to create place-based developers.
in 2021, i started developing black and white film exclusively in caffenol, a homemade film developer made from coffee, washing soda, and ascorbic acid […]. developing film in this way, i found that i could reduce the harm of my photographic process on the local ecology. it also allowed for endless creativity and experimentation. while using this low impact developer, i began to consider how i could create images in collaboration with the environment in and of which I was photographing.
the following images were developed using a developer that i made on site at muskegon state park, using foraged pine and hemlock leaves as my source of polyphenols and lake michigan as my source of water. using the caffenol recipe from the zine, i replaced the water and instant coffee with the extraction that i made from the foraged leaves and lake water. to make the extraction, i boiled the leaves in the lake water in a pot over my camp stove.
