Editing

i tend not to like editing too much, but have been enhancing colour and contrast to give the photos a nostalgic feel- as my theme now is Past and Present. I find when people think of their own past, they see it as very much flooded with colour/ nostalgic/ vivid (especially childhood) and i wanted to make the photos have this sort of feel to evoke the feeling of memories and distance. Also, i made the present the vivid one, wheras the past is the one which is black and whire or negative, suggetsing what we stand for is, in part, just a memory, ever present, but often at opposites to reality.
I have been using photoshop, but in some images, as i was often having to take through glass, you can see my reflection. It would be ok to mention this in the project (eg. image of person capturing is obvious representation of the present.) BUT would rather not have me there. Its quite difficult to edit me out though, as the relfection is over a very changing sky.


I wanted it to have a narrative too. I took an iage which i throught went very well as the last image; the image of somone standing at a trainstation, taken through a frame, so it looks like a picture being taken. the project is about memories already made- the last is about making an image/memory and what it is we decide to framer etc. the FIRST image, i think might be the one of someone being staught to stand (being stood up, infact) by their parent, next tp feet; represents what we stand for is what who taught us to stand for things?
