That should have been Hayworth...not Heyworth!
Sorry.

I think just about every kid printed 'sun pictures' in the early-mid
1950's.
I remember clearly a negative of the famous pin-up shot by by Life
photographer Bob Landry? of Rita Heyworth. I used an awful lot of paper
printing
copies of 'that' one!

Since we have discussed chemistry and "developing out" processes, I think
the following comments fall within our range of allowable subjects.
First of all the dream- I had a dream last night in which the main issue
is that we were somewhere special and had some print papers that had been
exposed and had some dim images on them. We wanted/needed better images and
some sort of preservation so I found something in the hotel/motel/castle
kitchen that brought out the images. I then had the prints washed with
water and then washed with a weak vinegar solution and washed again. The
results were pretty good- end of dream, no conclusion reached.
Now the memory- When I was in the second or third grade (an age at which
we all had reasonable motor skills and a few pennies to spend) we were able
to "take pictures". The fact is that we bought some sort of kit (from the
drugstore across the street) which must have consisted of some stock
negatives, some kind of print paper, and a sort of metal holder with bent up
edges which held the paper and negative together. We then put all this in the
sun for a few minutes, and behold, a print came up.
I have no recollection of what happened next, whether there was a way to
stabilize the image, etc. but am sure that a couple of folks on this list
will come up with the proper term for what we did and the paper we used.
I have very vivid dreams nightly, but even though I make a point of
remembering them, this is one of the few I remembered in any detail.
