    I helped a fella clean out his garage in exchange for some of the junk he was getting light of. I got a dozen boxes of Hammer and early Kodak glass plates.
    I got an old ice chest, cut the bottom out, laid a piece of white paper down.
    Turned ice cooler upside down on white paper and put a 10x14" piece of glass over the cut out and dangled LED light just under glass.
    Put glass negative on top and take steady photo with this Smart igit phone. Takes a moment to adjust light and angle....
    Put picture on special effects on Smart igit phone and touched " NEGATIVES" and it reverses the negative to a photograph. Walla!
    And I have fun

      Thank you Nicefice. I could not afford to have them developed and prints made by professional, so I figured out a way to do it best I could. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
