25) Products from around the house, destructive film preperation

After looking at Matthew Cetta I wanted to experiment further into destructive film than just boiling the film. Matthew Cetta's results were a lot more toxic and artificial as appose to Dustin Adam's shots have a much cleaner modern feel to them. Matthew Cetta experimented with a lot of acidic househeld items such a lemon juice, drano and frebreeze. I could only find fairy liquid and lemon juice and I bought a bottle of coca-cola to use as well. I poured the liquid into an old mug that I wouldn't use for drinking and left the film inside for about 5 minutes before leaving it to dry. Then I washed the mug out so that there was no remains of any of the previous liquid that could effect the results of the next shoot.

After taking doing the three shoots I took them to ASDA to get them developed. They refused to take the fairy liquid shoot as the emulsion was all over the canister and they were unable to get any results from the lemon juice shoot. They only manged to get around 5 shots from the coca-cola shoot. So it wasn't very successful but in my research a lot of even the experienced photographers like Dustin Adams said that even though he's been doing it for so long, it's still very hit and miss.
