Final: Sense of Place

This project.... Well, it started as a piece of portraiture of my grandma. She despises having her picture taken, so naturally I followed her around for a week taking thousands of pictures of her, capturing her various routines and movements through the house. Even trying to capture her hatred for cooking. I eventually evolved the series to include images of the past - overlaying images from photo albums to show what areas of the house used to look like, showing moments that occurred in those spaces. Due to time I was only able to apply this "effect" into a few of the photographs. In one image, in my grandparents living room, there is an older picture of me (in my cuter days) and my cousin Emily when we were little kids - this picture is imposed over what the living room looks like now. Another picture shows what the kitchen used to look like, and the last image shows what the exterior of the house looked like when my grandparents first bought the house.

I wish I had the time to apply this past-present look to more of the photos, I found it interesting to see how much work my grandparents put into this house over the years.
