Sort of an odd question... I have a cat, who is usually a pretty well behaved beast - she doesn't scratch or chew on anything - almost. She seems to love the taste of negatives and of prints. Last night I spent several hours in the darkroom, and ended up with 4 prints that I was pleased with. I put them in a stack on my dresser, along with a bunch of work prints and the cat knocked them off, and sorted through them so that she could pick which one tasted best and proceeded to chew all around the edges. This is not the first time, and I know that I am at fault for not protecting the prints better but, I notice that she seems to have particular taste in the prints that she selects to chew on - I have noticed: Given a choice between colour or B&W negatives, she will go for the B&W every time. Given a choice between a fiber based and an RC print, she will take the fiber based print almost always. Last night, the stack of prints had probably 20 or so prints in it - almost all FB, one of which was selenium toned - guess which one she selected to chew on? Hence my question - I assume that there is a chemical used in the process which she particularly likes the taste of - probably fix, since this would be common to the B&W negs and the prints, and fibre prints are probably going to retain the taste better than RC. Does anybody else have a pet who enjoys photography as mine seems to? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.
