a study in sage.

ரசவாதம் (rasavādhum), alchemy in Tamil, was an ancient practice, whose most famous goal was to transform lead (Pb) into gold (Au). Today, we revive a discipline, as close as it gets to ரசவாதம்.

Photons travel massive distances, bounce off the world around us, enter a camera obscura, and fall on a special paper. A transformation happens. Just like ரசவாதம் intended, a magical transformation is achieved - film chemistry.

Here are the observations of some of my chemical experiments.
