Another way is to colour-print. This is when you would print a portrait of yourself, after you have done that you would cut it up into small or big pieces that you would place on top of the photocopy. With this destroy piece I cut them up into small pieces where i could rearrange them in what ever way i would like them to be. In the image atop you can see the comparison between the original and the 'destroyed ' one. I have cut them up into shapes of a triangle so that i can arrange them twice for when I copy them twice. The first time I have copy them in a pink colour, after I had rearranged them to print them in a blue colour which would mis the blue and pink to give a heavy undertone of blue purple with hints of undertones of pinks. This is how i could express myself when I have to destroy an image that I have taken of myself.

In this photogram I have destroyed my image by putting glass bottle and string near the end in the glass to give a them an effect of balloons that are in the way of the photo. This is another way to show how I would express myself with the glass given to me along with the string. I used the enlarger to flash the light onto the paper. Once the timer had turned off, it was taken to the chemicals where it was developed to show how I 'destroyed' my image.
This was a way to respond to 'Rankin Destroy' with using cyanotypes. In the cyanotype has a piece of paper that has many circles in them to cover half of my body along with the string that frames the rest of my body. With using the cyanotype it was harder since it was longer as we used the UV light box. After the UV light was finished we had to leave it a bleach and water solution where it could have the image be seen more on the cyanotype paper.

This is the first threshold concepts where they talk about how the photography has may genre some are old like photograms or cyanotypes. Then the borrowed genres was portraits along with landscape as well. The new genres are how they would have been used for fashion along with sports and many more. The threshold concepts tell us how we can mix and max the different genres that there are like how you can mix still-life with portraitures. They can tell us photographers to play with the expectations with the genre purpose for art and photography.

The things that are effective in this photo is that she has done a self-portrait where her face where they would show key features of herself but without showing her face. It is a way that she could express herself through her images where can show hoe she may feel. They ways that she could have shown herself and with this way it like how we need to question what is she actually think. It make us wonder what was the true intentions that she was on about.
