I did.
As part of my journalism training way back when I learned how to develop film and photographs.
We were told what happens if one doesn't use the fix after developing a print.
All that did was make me more curious as to what a print looks like without it and how long it lasts.
So one fine day in fall of '79 I decided to find out.
I put the photo through the developing chemicals and the stop bath and then took it out to the light.
This is the result:

That looks very cool! And perfectly named.
Today we can do the same thing without the smell and without the wait.
Thanks, Bag Lady. I am pleased as all get out with this pic.
Tabor, you make a good point, but hands on like this is way more fun.
I like it! :-)
You were learning to develop film in 1979? That's when I took my only photography course! I was not iconoclastic enough to think of experimenting this way, though.

That is neat! It looks like something out of the Twilight Zone.
Lovely!
Mary Anne, I was in J school from fall of 1978 to spring of 1980. And thank you for "iconoclastic."
Messymimi, what a wonderful compliment. Thank you.
Thanks, Kimberely.
I am tickled pink and silly that others enjoy this as much as I do.
Oops, sorry I missed you.
Thanks, DJan.
Oh I love it! So pretty. Photography is the best.
You were ahead of your time where photo effects were concerned. It looks quite lovely to me.
Sagan and Hilary, thanks so much.
