Semester two-Collecting Memories

Over Christmas I went home again and asked my family and friends to write down some memories. I wanted anything they could think of, big or small, just as long as it was something that stuck out in their memory.

I started playing about with the photographs using the photocopier to put them onto ascetate and over lap them with the "memories" i had collected.

This is an image of my grampa when he was young..I photocopied it onto ascetate and overlapped it with an ascetate copy of a letter that my gran had written about some memories from the war and the Clydebank Blitz.

A close up of the last image. i reversed the text on puropse as i didnt want the underlying story to be too obvious.

I really like this image. it is a photograph of two ascetates overlapped, one which had been made on the colour photocopier, and the other black and white. I was aiming to have this ghostly effect.

This is a positive and negitive ascetate copy of an image of my uncle who I have never met before. He died at war aged 18 and was buiried in Germany at one of the cemeteries.

I put these images onto a light box and photographed them.

I like the way that in this image the features are slightly altered by the positioning of the negative ascetate behind.
