As an experiment using a flawed media of photography inspired by Steven Pippin's use of a washing machine, I did an experiment that involved using a home made camera made from a biscuit tin. The biscuit tin camera was made by getting an empty biscuit, painting the entire inside of the tin and lid with black paint and pushing a pin directly through the center of the lid so that there was an entrance point for the light to come through. The shutter was just a piece of duct-tape over the pin hole in the lid. In order to take the photo, I stuck some light sensitive paper into the tin and went outside, I opened the shutter and exposed the light sensitive paper for 10 seconds, I then developed the image in the dark room.
This first image is the negative paper that is inverted. To un-invert it I took another piece of light sensitive paper and sandwiched the tow together, I then blasted light through the negative onto the new paper for a fraction of a second. Then I developed the new image i the same way as the first one and ended up with these results.
These lower two have been purposely ruined using a chemical that stops the paper from being sensitive to light, this way they have a purposely ruined feel to them, rather allot like what Stephen Gill did in his photography.
