My idea is centered around Ancestry, Nostalgia, Memory and the Object. I have been taking photographs of my family out into the landscape pegging them on to trees. I'm finding this a little troublesome as the wind keeps blowing the photographs away. I've been shooting early in the morning and late in the afternoon. The days are so short now that daylight hours are limited. I'm not sure that my idea is working. I like the idea and I want to continue with it; I want to develop the idea further but time is running out and I'm worried that I will not be able to develop the idea in enough depth. I have also considered using an old mirror, a family heirloom that has many layers of meaning for me.
There is also an element of being "close to home." The locations I am using are Central Park and Hyde Park Cemetery which are both in close proximity to our home.
These are two of the images I have taken up to the present time.
