Here are a couple of Mamiya 645AFD shots from Big Bend.
These are the ruins of a miner’s house, the mine manager’s house before the mine gave out in the early 1900s
Here is a friend’s caravan. She lives between Mexico, New Mexico and Texas mostly, and uses the caravan to travel in. She built a house in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico but travels a bit to see old friends.
Yes, that’s a 66 VW that she uses to haul the caravan.
The shots were with FP4+ using a Mamiya 45mm lens and processed in coffee, yes the coffee adventure continues. This time I added some vitamin C powder to acidify the soup a bit more. It worked very well.
Cheers

Great results, Jules, I like both of these. The rounded top of the caravan
is reminiscent of what I saw the Basque sheepherders use in south
central Idaho. |

Thanks much,
The fellow that built hers has a business building wooden trailers. This one is the smallest he has built and wasn't built commercially though he did end up selling it to my friend.. Check out http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/ for a bunch of these.
PS: Here's her caravan when he sold it to her.

No I don't drink it after  The washing soda and the vitamin C in the mix kind of affect the flavor negatively.
I use it because I really like staining developers such as the Pyro family.
Coffee is a staining developer that's cheap and non-toxic and it gives a pretty stunning result IMO, and it's fun to see people say . . huh?

It's actually a '73 or later. Has the round tail lights. The 66 still had the skinny oval ones. Also has the louvered engine cover that first appeared in 1970, IIRC.
Hey Jules, dang good results from coffee! Would you care to pass along your recipe? How about development times? And do you just use a regular fixer afterwards?

I think not. You see it's a Mexican version which is quite different from US version. It has disk brakes all around and other things like the bumper isn't stock. It's been rebuilt to hold a trailer.
I do think it's a 66 but I might be wrong. I'll ask her.

Thanks much.
There are a number of recipies all pretty similar. Rather than me re-write them, just google "developing pictures in coffee". That will take you to several sites that have pics and instructions. It's pretty easy. and yes, water wash and regular fixer.

Thanks. Yes the acutance is very good. It's my understanding that this is fairly consistant with all staining developers.

i wonder what would happen if you used some fresh-ground guatemalen azotea, or jamaican blue mountain. tonal range might jump off the prints! 
should have known that was a mexican or brazilian bug in that kind of shape. the volkswagen plant in puebla no longer makes the bug ...
