Well ... coffee seems to work (see
http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/text-coffee.html), but not without making it
alkaline.
I actually did try putting a piece of scrap film in a cup of coffee.
Straight coffee didn't do much, but adding a couple teaspoons of
baking soda did start to show some fogging. I didn't have any potassium
hydroxide as was used in the RIT test, so haven't done any more tinkering.
I have enough trouble finding time to make pictures as it is.
So ... take your picture of peaches, develop with coffee, and make a
cassein bichromate print with the cream.
