Capturing memories through photography


I came across this website, which asks that people take a photograph of a picture in the past in the present. The website is much like an archive of memories from lots of different people. It documents past memories and happiness. I felt that this idea links with my approach to the Collide project.
A book by Taylor Jones has been published with the intention to tell our stories in a different way. The documentation of photographs stimulates emotion. I have created my own interpretation of this idea by photographing a picture of my grandma and grandad in front of the scene it was originally taken (my grandads house).
