1 Second LCD prints

1 Second LCD contact prints on Silver Gelatin paper, developed for 1-5 seconds.

This project was an experimentation using LCD light from my phone to print directly onto light-sensitive silver gelatin paper. The process was quick and uncontrollable. 1 second too little exposure and the image develops too light, meanwhile 1 second too much exposure and the image blurs out of definition. The printing process took 1-3 seconds, and the darkroom developing process in chemical developer took 2-5 seconds. Once I had an image selected, I would first invert the colors and adjust the value curve. The entire process took less than 2 minutes from start to finish, but had little control over the process.
