first memory

Here are the images I created using miniatures as a reflection of my first childhood memory. Enjoy!

Once Upon a Time

My first project of the semester is to recreate a series of photographs based on my first memory. The memory that came to mind is when my father was leaving to go to my grandfather's funeral (someone who I wish I had more memories of and with as I unfortunately don't remember him). I can still see my dad standing in front of our wooden front door with his bags sitting at his feet. My mom was brushing the tangles out of my hair with the help of Johnson and Johnson's No More Tangles as I sat on the coffee table. Thank goodness for No More Tangles or I would have never let her brush my hair! I didn't really understand why my dad was leaving, just that he had to and I was heartbroken. I plan on using my little people to create a series of images to represent this first memory. I will post them when I finish!

I came across a photo stream on flickr today and I thought I would share. I love Erin_T's simple style. She pairs the images she takes with poems which help guide you through the narrative she's created. Check it out here.
