Reflections - PHOTOGRAPHS - 2 (Blackpool)
Our memories are the only paradise from which we can never be expelled. / Jean Paul Richter/
During the week after our first meeting, I chose to take only the line from my previous post - What people leave behind themselves? I draw sketches in my notebook. I look for abandoned places around Farnham. Develop idea - creating abandoned place look like someone just have sit on the chair or slept on the mattress. It took me whole day to think different scenarios like sketches of desk and letter on it with recently cleaned surface.
Something was missing. My developing process was not real. It was all about creating memories without true story under it. I took few days off.
My last sketch represented shoes. Discussed the idea with Leah and we find the way how to improve my photographs. Shoes themselves represents a lot about the owner. Are they are clean, maybe torn or with special style. To develop the text on each photograph took me time. For inspiration went together with my course mates to Blackpool.
Ivan with Preston and Rufaro invited me to go with them to Blackpool, which was like 4 hour drive in one direction.
It was a real opportunity to get inspired by other place apart from Farnham. Took some pictures and during the process I find how I want show these photographs to my audience. Powerful text from each owner not only show the style, but memories which bring us to highlights of their personalities.
