Arrested Development: Proof of Concept
I've wanted to try to 'freeze' the development of integral film for some time but never gotten 'round to trying - until about thirty minutes ago.

Process: Snapped the shot and raced into the kitchen where I had razor blade and mirro - cutting board handy. Made three quick cuts then waited until the shot developed to the desired 'stopping point'. I should have done my cutting a bit better as I fumbled a bit with getting it separated, so it developed a bit more than I had initially hoped. It's key to peel the pic off in a fluid motion. THEN take the still developing picture and rinse it under water - the temperature will make a difference I chose cold to keep cooler tones. That freezes the development. Then you let it dry (or use a hair dryer) and put it all back together. If one is being very gentle, it can look much more 'normal' I am guessing but the initial water shock does some odd things. . . could have lessened this with softer stream of water but I like the chaotic nature involved with heavy manipulation.

Forget all that - read this great tutorial by jenellenorris: »link
