“I was experimenting with 10×8 Polaroid 803 film and as a result I noticed I could solarise the backing. I became intrigued by the latent image that slowly disappeared under a crystal surge. Next I worked out a way of copying the image to make a negative. Finally I could make Solaroid prints. As a result of the crystal surface of the polaroid the technique best suited abstract subjects I hope you enjoy these intriguing abstract photos which I show here for the first time here”.
