Method and apparatus for photographically recording an image

A photographic imaging substrate, comprising:

• a light passing substrate;
• a photosensitive agent capable of producing oxygen in the presence of light, the photosensitive agent being supported on the light passing substrate, and exposable to light after it passes through the light passing substrate;
• and
• an oxidizable surface positioned in close association with the photosensitive agent, the oxidizable surface being chemically reactive in the presence of oxygen produced by the photosensitive agent to yield a visual change in the form of an image.

A method of producing a photographic image, comprising:

• placing a photosensitive agent capable of producing oxygen in the presence of light on a light passing substrate;
• positioning the photosensitive agent in sufficient proximity to and in atmospheric communication with a corresponding oxidizable surface wherein the oxidizable surface is chemically reactive in the presence of oxygen to yield a visual change;
• and
• exposing the photosensitive agent to light that has passed through the light passing substrate for a sufficient time to generate an image in the oxidizable surface.
