Grass Pictures by Heather Acroyd and Dan Harvey.
The pictures presented does have a very good range of tonality (for beeing
grass ;-) Midtones beeing yellowish.
They are hovewer using a negative and projector for light.

The grass do actually manage to grow vertically and beeing smaller it will
provide a better grain size, sharpness and detail seperation than ivy (dead
serious face). An ecological process as long as organic developers are used,
sorry fertilizer, fixing happen by drying up the grass, chlorophyl having
dye will keep colour. It can possibly be said to at least be related to
anthotype since the sensitizer is chlorophyl.

Mold can probably also be used to increase tonality, or as a toner, various
types of mold will possibly, sensitized to different wavelengths of light,
produce a colour print. I belive further research is necesary in this area.

Ps which of these faces means something is said in a very very serious voice
?
