These two ladies were kind enough to sit for me for a moment while on their rounds up here at the school last night. This is actually a scan from a color paper negative. In other words, I took RA-4 (color) paper that I use to print color photos in the darkroom, and I put it in an 8×10 film holder and exposed it as if it were a sheet of color negative film.
You should notice the obvious color cast, which reminds me of a cyanotype. I believe this is due to the layer of blue which is on color paper before it is processed. Does that make sense?

Walker,
I love this one. They don’t even look real. Or happy to be doing it. I guess they are teaching you something at you’re grad. When I make something worth looking at I’ll call you, so you can listen to it. I don’t have a videophone.

What do you think the iso of the paper was? I’m in the embryonic stages of moving to an 8×10. Using paper negs seems like a cost effective way to practice my 8×10 technique.

I think it was around ISO 10, actually. But I can’t remember at the moment.
