Memories

I wanted this one to be personal like the childhood Stories, but like how Lorna Simpson structures her text along side of the images they seem like stanzas in  a poem. I looked at layering the words across the image, while highlighting certain words that I wanted to stand out as they are the most important clues to what the image is about. This photo is one I took of my Nan on a previous shoot. She looks out me alot, especially when I was younger, when my mum would come and go out of hospital, but because she is old, stubborn, always travels around Birmingham with her heavy bags I worry about her. The light was supposed to outline her shilouette, and act like a lighthouse light that guide the Shipmen ashore. I wasn't too fond with the text across the photo, so I shifted it to the side, Catherine gave me the idea of making it like pieces of spoken Poetry, so certain words stand out more and create more of an impact.
