Manipulation of negatives
For those of you still working with film, I thought this might be of some interest.
It is possible to artfully destroy your negatives either through the use of metal utensils, sandpaper or fire. I personally prefer sandpaper which can give quite a painterly effect when used on the edges of a photo. 200 grade sandpaper = coarse, 800 grade sandpaper = fine.

Limited Print Runs
I was just thinking that maybe RB could enable this option on works of the artist’s choosing.
Rarer = more value
I think it would encourage buyers if they know they were getting something unique instead of something that was 1 of a million. Just a thought, and yes I know it would require a great deal of integrity from the artists.

Non-Polaroid Emulsion Lifts

Method
1. Make sure print is free from blemishes like creases or bends etc. Do the same for the contact paper….
