In this interview the photographer says that he has used elderberry juice...
> I will surely continue exploring the wide world of edible and potable things like coffee, red wine, tea … made some successful experiments with elderberry juice, rosemary tea, coca cola … next will be dark beer for sure!

- PaulHoule 5y agoOne thing I'd be concerned about is lightfastness. This website http://wilhelm-research.com/ http://wilhelm-research.com/ tells the sordid story of how Kodak just didn't care about the permanence of color prints until 1980 or so. Wedding photographers would be paid $1000's for their work but couldn't get materials to make prints which would last a lifetime. Martin Scorsese lit a fire under Hollywood's ass about the permanence of films, but for that industry, keeping films in a dark freezer turned out to be a practical and permanent solution. If you screw around with developing film with unusual chemicals I'd be concerned about how long the prints last, however black and white film where the image is really printed in silver crystals is likely to be more stable than the color film systems where the chemical changes in the silver crystals are coupled to dye systems. When I was a kid I extracted dyes from flowers and did experiments with them and one conclusion was that they just don't last.
