Action developing

Yesterday I tried a new technique in the Darkroom... I called it Action Developing, making reference to  Jackson Pollock's Action Painting.

The technique is simple: once you have the photo-sensible paper exposed, instead of putting it in the developing machine, or in the developing liquid, you just have to splash some of the liquid using a paintbrush, a spray... and wait for the magic to take place! However, you have to be careful and fast putting the paper in the stopping liquid when you see the image appearing, otherwise it will get too dark.
