Autumn Leaf

While this image has the colors of autumn, the leaf in question was fresh and green when the process began. Photographic developer and fixer were applied directly to the leaf. It was then placed, in dim lighting, on a sheet of black and white darkroom paper, covered with glass, and moved into a sunny window. After several minutes, it was removed to the dim room, rinsed, dried, and scanned. The color you see is what naturally arose in the process. It has not been altered.

The leaf was captured in a photograph without the benefit of a camera.
