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. The negatives are placed inside a specially made, hermetically sealed container so that they can be as saturated as possible, and what comes out is as much a surprise to Meijer as it is to us. “Sometimes I find that nothing is left because they’ve disintegrated, and sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised,” he tells Wired.

FASHION GIVER Nan Goldin American photographer Nancy "Nan" Goldin (born September 12, 1953) is an American photographer. Her work often explores LGBT bodies, moments of intimacy, the HIV crisis, and the opioid epidemic. Early life[edit] The Hug, NYC, 1980, Cibachrome print by Goldin. Goldin was born in Washington, D.C. in 1953[1] and grew up in the Boston suburb of Lexington to middle-class Jewish parents. This was in 1965, when teenage suicide was a taboo subject. Career[edit] Following graduation, Goldin moved to New York City.[12] She began documenting the post-punk new-wave music scene, along with the city's vibrant, post-Stonewall gay subculture of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Goldin's work is most often presented in the form of a slideshow, and has been shown at film festivals; her most famous being a 45-minute show in which 800 pictures are displayed. In 2000, her hand was injured and she currently retains less ability to turn it than in the past.[20] Christmas at the Other Side, Boston, 1972, by Goldin.
