Destroying Art... With a Purpose

Emil Schildt is a photographer I've just discovered. He quite literally destroys his film negatives, burning them with cigarettes and bleaching them, to gain the weirdest effects. I love it. It's in the pictorialist manner, something I've always been curious about and fascinated with. I have an "open" assignment coming up, so I think I might try some scratching and burning. I don't know how Gina will feel about it, but I personally will have the time of my life.
