I know its puzzling.
its hard to explain too, the negatives and the positives were on the same type of 'film'. It measures 4x5 out of the box, it is gloss on one side and says "Kodak" diagonally on the other side which is paper. just as you would get after developing any point and shoot camera down at the local one hour photo joint.
This film was slid into the back of the pinhole camera, exposed for a few seconds and developed in dektol, bathed in water and fixed in Kodak Fixer, then rinsed in a sink and hung to dry.
I made the positives through contact pritning with a sheet of glass and a 15 or 20 watt light bulb.
the paper backing was never removed during the process and is not removable.
as i cannot find any film like i used to work with i gave Tmax 100 a try, and using the same or similar process it always produces a crystal clear image. you can hold it up and see straight through it like clear plastic.
