Reflections 2 Photography - Christmas Project

Over the holidays we were asked to think of things we’d like to remember in the future.

I find it hard to come up with ideas that are overly personal and meaningful, so this was tough to think about. I looked at the cliche ideas behind memories such as family, friends, pets, loves etc.
Nothing inspired me, nothing jumped out at me to make me click.

When I need inspiration, I go to the loft. I rummage through old things that were once loved and treasured and explore a world I never knew existed through photographs and objects.

Photographs are precious moments captured in time, to have the moment you shared with a loved one who is now diseased or to see yourself in your younger days, the person that you was in that moment.

It’s magic.


For me, a moment I will never forget is the first time I used a camera. My grandpa was a photographer and had many film cameras. When I was little I used to think it was a magical black box that could freeze moments in time. This inspired me to try it and learn the basics of photography.


First film camera I ever used - Canon 1000F


This is where it all started for me. This is why I am where I am today.
