Photographer Breathes New Life Into His Old Negatives by Nearly Destroying Them Purposely distressing and destroying negatives was never a part of photographer Rohn Meijer‘s plans, but when he discovered a box of old negatives in his basement that had been exposed to 15 years worth of moisture damage, an idea took shape. The photos he found that day had a pleasing quality about them, and so Meijer, a fashion photographer by trade, decided he would start taking his old fashion shoot negatives and nearly destroying them into works of art. The distressing is done in a home-made stew of water and chemicals that Meijer has perfected over years of experimentation. “Sometimes I find that nothing is left because they’ve disintegrated, and sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised,” he tells Wired. The resulting photographs have gotten Meijer a good bit of attention since he first scanned and displayed them in 2007, and will have you thinking twice before you throw out a set of “ruined” negatives: (via Wired) Image credits: Photographs by Rohn Meijer and used with permission.
