Photograph as physical object in hand



Here are some sample Harman Direct Positive Prints, digitized via Lumix camera but only vaguely representative of holding the actual print in-hand:

Abo Ruins, Salinas National Monument, Harman Direct Positive Print, Fujinon 135 lens on Speed Graphic

Harman Direct Positive Print, Fujinon 135 lens on Speed Graphic

Perea Nature Trail, San Ysidro NM, Harman Direct Positive Print, Fujinon 135 lens on Speed Graphic

Harman Direct Positive Print, meniscus lens, 8x10 box camera

Harman Direct Positive Print, Fujinon 135 lens on Speed Graphic

Olympia SM9, Harman Direct Positive Print, Fujinon 135 lens on Speed Graphic

As you can see from the previous image, Harman Direct Positive prints, like paper negatives and also wet plate media from the 19th century, are formed on the front surface of the substrate, hence the image is reversed left-to-right. Of course I could have reversed them in post, but that'd be cheating and would also further remove them from any resemblence of their physical origin.
