I think peach pits contain much more tannic acid than cyanide. If you have
enough peaches to make a batch of jam, I think there would be plenty of pits for
one shot.
I doubt it would make the highest quality negatives, but it would be a low cost
project and has a strong link between the alternative photo process and the
subject.
As an artistic exercise, the peash -*hic* peasss - *hic*- PEACH alky would
probably better consumed to celebrate the project. I use ethanol as a drying
agent and somehow rinsing the negs in it doesn't have the same panache...:-)
