Memory of a Photograph.
Which photograph from your past do you remember most? Describe this photograph. Describe how it makes you feel when you remember/think about this photograph. How have you changed? How has the place in this photograph changed? What would a reenactment of this photograph look like? Would you act or look differently if you reenacted this scene today?
One photo that stands out to me is a picture of me on my first day of school. I can't remember which grade, but I think I was about 9 or 10 years old in it. I went to a Catholic elementary school, so I am in uniform (a plaid jumper). It's a shot of me standing against a cinder block wall, and I had a small smile on my face. Back then, I was quite shy and quiet, and this was right around the start of my 'awkward' stage. I look pretty meek in the photo, but its partially due to my lack of enthusiasm for starting a new school year. Comparing it to now, I am still shy, and very quiet, but I have more self confidence than from what I had then. I have moved on from the Catholic school girl outfit, and I have developed a personal style. If I were to recreate it, I would probably shoot it here at MSU. I think it would be interesting to have an updated version of myself, and see the similarities and also changes in myself from ten years ago.
I am going to try to find the photo and post it on here so that there can be a better understanding of what I am talking about.
