It might look like something went horribly wrong in the images above, but the psychedelic colors and patterns are actually deliberate. Peter Hoffman coated his negatives with a tiny bit of gasoline.
After letting it burn for a few split seconds, Peter quickly extinguishes the flame and prints the image from the newly ‘ruined’ negative.

Down There By The Train: "..and we'll give you photo credit."
Dear potential people I work with:
I love taking pictures. Some times, I’ll even offer to do it for free. However, offering someone “photo credit” is massively insulting. I know you don’t mean it to be, but let me explain.
If I posted an MP3 of your music, I would hopefully say who it was by. If…

Project idea: Deconstruct something ordinary to make it extraordinary.
If you’re like most of us, you log in to Facebook every day, write something in the box. And then what?
Instead of leaving them on screen, poet and writer Rishi Dastidar has been transcribing his status updates into notebooks for over three years. That’s more than a thousand posts that he’s now recorded and kept.
Why? According to Rishi, “It struck me quite early on in using Facebook that status updates were more than that, and actually provided quite a deep glimpse into you and your personality.
“I was interested in how that might look over an extended period of time, and what that might reveal about someone. And it made sense to start with me. I hope this inspires people to think a bit more deeply about how they use Facebook, and how much of themselves they share.”
Don’t settle.
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”
